DK Publishing, This extraordinary portrait of the daily lives,
families, hopes, and dreams of the world’s children.
Inc.
In our fast paced, ever changing world, it is
important, now more than ever, for children of all
ages to learn to embrace diversity and the nature of
our multicultural societies.
The Scholastic Atlas of the World presents
information in a new and exciting way.
Comparisons are made between countries and the
United States – land area, time difference, life
expectancy, and car ownership, how long it takes to
travel between distant cities – and many more
features.
Somewhere in the world right now, it’s deepest
night. Elephants sleep in the African darkness
while a little girl lies dreaming of tomorrow. But
Somewhere else, tomorrow is already here. As one
new day begins, another draws to a close.
Describes different houses around the world.

unlike any other.
By Friday night, everyone is ready. Those who live
far away are already loading their trucks and carts
and donkeys with beautiful rebozos and fiery chili
peppers, comfortable huaraches and squawking
parrots. They will travel by moonlight. Those who
live closer can sleep through most of the moonlit
night. But everyone from near or far, will arrive at
the market before dawn. And what a market it is!
Grandmother teaches her granddaughter to weave.
Then the granddaughter has to travel to the market
by herself to sell the beautiful tapestries.
She can hardly wait to go to the store with Mama to
pick out her present. The yellow dress she has her
eye on will look beautiful with her long, thick
braids. But Mama’s fishing net is full of holes, and
there isn’t enough money to buy both a new net and
a birthday dress. The only solution lies with the
hair buyers from the city, who purchase braids from
the women of Erandi’s Mexican village. But
Mama’s hair isn’t nearly as long or as thick as
Erandi’s. Will Erandi have to choose between her
birthday present and her braids?
