If The World Were A Village

A Book About The World's People

BY DAVID SMITH, ILLUSTRATED BY SHELAGH ARMSTRONG

Brief Description:
"To make the idea of a world of 6.2 billion people more understandable, Smith suggests that children imagine the population of the world as a village of just 100 people. That's one person representing 62 million people in the real world. Surprising, even shocking statistics follow.. Each double-page, picture-book spread relates a few consciousness-raising facts about such topics as nationalities, food, language, and religion. .Armstrong's large acrylic paintings, nice complements to the text, look like stained glass windows, with blocks of intense color outlined in thick black lines. This highly informative book will get kids thinking and asking questions." - Booklist
