Book Reviews of A Life Like Mine: How Children Live Around the World
Book Review: What every child should have and what your child should be aware of globally.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is made for us and our children to think, to think about how lucky we are to have running water and how others don't have that luxury. I feel it's important to give our children a global out look and to see how other children live. This book is broken down into several parts and within each part they give lots of interesting facts, some you might already know about and other facts that just might surprise you! The 1st section is on Survival.
Survival -
1. Every Child should have water that is safe to drink close to their homes.
2. Every Child should have enough nourishing food to eat so they can grow & thrive.
3. Home should be a place where every child can feel comfortable and safe.
4. Every child have access to health care in order to lead a full & active life.
2nd section is Development: Education and play.
The 3rd section is Protection:
1. Every child should have someone to love and care for them.
2. Every child should be protected from work that could harm or exploit them.
3. Disability should not prevent any child from participating fully in life.
4. Children need protection from the fighting and destruction of war.
4th section:
1. Every child has the right to an identity, including name, nationality and religion.
2. Every child has the right to freedom of expression.
3. A good life, lived to its full potential is the right of every child.
The children in this book come from Unites States: Georgia & Washington. There is a girl from England, Columbia, Yugoslavia, Israel, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Netherlands, Afghanistan, Sudan, Laos, South Africa, Rwanda, India, Bangladesh, & Australia. The 1st pages after the contents page shows where on the map they are from and what page to find them. I think this is an awesome book for older children. Every school and public library should have a copy.
