What it is about:
This Is Our World, written by Tracey Turner, is a colourful celebration of our planet’s cultural and environmental diversity—an unforgettable journey that brings the people, customs, and wildlife of 20 places around the world vividly to life for children. Our guides are children who tell us about the animals, plants, and weather that they encounter; the feasts and festivals they enjoy; the clothes they wear, the way they learn, the languages they speak, and the sports and games they play.
The tour is truly global, as we journey from Australia’s lonely Red Centre to bustling New York City, from the windswept Outer Hebrides to the rock houses of Cappadocia in Turkey, via the Amazon rain forest, the Alaskan wilderness, a floating village in Cambodia, and the remote village of Supai, Arizona
Why we love it:
It’s a beautiful book, sure to foster an interest in the wider world, in travel, in diversity, and in conservation. The journeys in the book promote tolerance and understanding and show us that despite its countless languages, customs, and traditions, it really is a small world, where we have so much in common.
