example, "by dressing their children, listening to them, taking them for walks, teaching them to read, to count, to sew and ride a pony." Later the book shows older children helping younger children and friends spending time together. "The book ends by telling people how daddies hug and cuddle and mommies kiss and smile with their kids in their mommies arms."I definately liked the pictures in the book showing either the children getting loved by their mommies, daddies, friends, and the book even shows children loving their animals.

This book shows in pictures how families around the world show love to each other. It has photographs of families in different countries. Some pictures show mothers feeding their children. Other pictures show mothers bathing their children.
It is a very cute book. It shows that love crosses all
Extensions:
1. I may use this book after a mini-lesson on differences. It would allow the students to visualize what children from other cultures look like.
2. I may have the students color a picture of a child. I would assign each student a different culture (by assigning each student a page in the book) to color. I would then make a "cultural differences" bulletin board.

In pictures, this book shows families around the world showing love to each other. In a family from Kenya, the mother is feeding her baby. a mother in Bali is bathing her son in a bucket. It shows a father from Israel teaching his son to read.

Loving by Ann Morris is a book about the different ways different cultures do things. The main focus is to show kids that even though they may look different on the outside everyone is the same and they are all loved. This book has great pictures for kids to look at. One picture shows how kids take
I can relate to this book because my husband and I have many foreign exchange students come through our youth ministry program and we get to learn about the many different cultural differences they have. I always learn so much from our foreign exchange students and realize many of the things they do back home are the same as me, but maybe done a little differently. I always miss them when they return back home.
In the classroom, this book can be used to teach kids how other cultures do certain things. I would read the book aloud and see if the kids can tell me what the children in the book are doing. Once they figure out what the children are doing, I would ask them to tell me if it is how they do things. For instance, they would either say the same or different. Then have the kids tell how they do things. For example the bath scene, most children do not take a bath in a bucket they use a tub - they would say different and explain they take a bath in the tub. After the book is completed, and the children understand different cultures do some things differently, I would explain that although they do things differently they are still loved and we should treat others the same way.

a bath in a tin bucket and then another shows a mother dumping water over a kids head in the middle of the street. It shows kids that are not use to that kind of bathing it still works and their mothers love them to. It shows kids how other parts of the world do things just like they have to do, but not necessarily the same way they were brought up.I can relate to this book because my husband and I have many foreign exchange students come through our youth ministry program and we get to learn about the many different cultural differences they have.

This book has a lot of pictures from people all around the world. It talks about how different people all over the world do the same things we do everyday. Such as, take care of our pets, bathe, and do homework. The lesson to be learned in this book is that we all need to be loved, no matter what
I thought the book had great pictures. This would be a great book to read to students because it talks about the similarities between us all and it has great pictures to show them also. I think it's a really good book to teach children about diversity.
In the classroom, I would read the book to show the students that we are all the same. That just because we look different doesn't mean that we don't all do the same things. Also, I would assign family from the book to each student and they would research that family's culture. Their papers would be displayed in the classroom with the picture of that family.

This book is about different places all over the world. It shows what people in other countries that are similar or even the same as how we do them here. It shows that even though they may be from another country, their lives often consist of the same things ours does. The pictures really give the
Growing up I was always taught that everyone is the same in some way or another no matter where they come from.
In the classroom, I can read this book to the students to show them that there are a lot of similarities with people throughout the world. We can also use this book to maybe even bring up the subject of all of the different diversities in even the classroom.
