Sinopsis	WHERE WE LIVE This fascinating look at 16 children's neighborhoods around the world broadens readers' understanding of global cultures. This unique illustrated map book explores the neighborhoods of 16 real children from around the world. Author Margriet Ruurs, who met many of these children in her travels, tells the story of each child's neighborhood by highlighting the places that are important to them, such as where they live, go to school and play, as well as interesting facts about their lives, including the food they eat, their religious practices and the sights and smells they encounter every day. From big cities, such as Amsterdam and Beijing, to small communities, such as Salt Spring Island in Canada and the village of Komanyana in Zambia, each place is special to the children who live there. In the book's opening pages, Ruurs explains what a map is and what its component parts are: compass rose, legend, scale bar. Then, each child's story gets its own spread, with Wenjia Tang's playful and inviting maps as a backdrop featuring illustrations of the important places and a legend specific to that map. Each of the maps in the book is based on the child's actual neighborhood. The "Say It!" box includes words and phrases in the child's native language. This book has a wealth of social studies applications: it's both a valuable resource and an insightful look at how much children around the world have in common, this book has a wealth of social studies applications. It makes a perfect jumping-off point for projects in which children create their own map and story or do further research on any of the neighborhoods in the book. Back matter includes activities, a glossary, an author's note and a further-reading list. MARGARET RUURS I have over 40 books for children and educators: from Emma's Eggs to the picture book biography of Robert Bateman. My books include humorous picture books, poetry, first chapter books and a lot of nonfiction. I love writing, researching and juggling language. I also conduct author visits to schools around the world as well as writing workshops for students and teachers. Edad recomendada: a partir de 9 años
