A Wonderfully Evocative Global Perspective!!! |
| I came across this book totally by chance while looking for a gift for my grandchildren. I couldn't put it down! I like to think that I have some sense of our place in the world, but this book really nailed it down in ways that were at once dramatic and sobering to contemplate. My grandchildren loved it and seemed for the first time to grasp a global perspective. No book has been more successful with all three generations of our family nor has any generated more interesting dinner table conversation! |

An Appreciated Gift |
| We received our first copy of this book as a gift last year. It provoked a most interesting conversation in our family (which includes two teenagers). Soon after, we took our copy on a family visit and it generated another lively discussion. We left our copy with our hosts and ordered another one for ourselves. And, we realized that this book could be a first-rate gift for anyone, anytime. Since then, it has become our standard "house present" when visiting. It is universally appreciated and commented on long after its initial receipt. It's a unique gift that delightfully engages giver and receiver immediately. |

Read this With a Child Again and Again! |
| Both thoughtful and equally stimulating, "If The World Were a Village" succeeds in opening the eyes and the minds of young readers through a quite creative format. As a father of two children, the book offers several topical "lenses" to discuss and really share in the wonderful effort to better understand some of these very timely and also profound issues so relevant for each and everyone of us. If the mark of a good book is to provoke our thinking on a topic and engage our minds - adult and child - you've got the perfect thing right here. |
