A Life Like Mine: Unicef

This book is one of the most interesting ones I read for this project. It is broken up into the Survival, Development , Protection and Participation of children around the world. I think it’s really neat because this book goes out of its way to discuss the ways in which children around the world live day to day. The book describes children’s lives in all major continents, from many religions, socioeconomic statuses and ages. I think this book is great because students could look up a specific child in an area they were interested in or were studying for in another class. It’s a true life story and would allow them to really see how children live in other parts of the world. I think what is also neat about this book is the fact that there is a section where it tells what students can do to help other children in other parts of the world. There are fantastic graphic descriptions and photos of the children they are reading about. I think this book would easily integrate into any classroom K-5 if the teacher used it properly and read it aloud in younger grades.
