ABOUT THE “IF YOU WERE ME AND LIVED IN…”
BOOKS:
The “If You Were Me and Lived In…” books
are an introduction to customs and cultures around the world. The series is a
collection of twenty-two books designed to help children experience life from
the perspective of a variety of other children from all around the world, in
the hopes that they’ll see how similar we all really are.
The idea of countries, borders, and
customs is sometimes difficult for youngsters to grasp. Carole breaks things
down into various topics that even the youngest child can identify with – what their
name might be, where the country is located, what they would call their
parents, what kind of food would they eat, what one thing identifies the
country, like a landmark. Children finish each book able to identify both
similarities and differences, and with the added of having multiple books, can
compare how life is all over the world.
The series includes books about the
following countries:
- Australia
- Brazil
- China
- Cuba
- Egypt
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Hungary
- India
- Israel
- Italy
- Kenya
- Mexico
- Norway
