If the World Were a Village by David Smith

This is a great book to put hte size of the world in perspective!  Great to use with any age, but particularly upper grade Math learners.  You must check it out!  Here are videos, links, slide shows and more.

    I recently found a great website titled the "International Children's Digital Library" which focuses on diversity and reading. There are books in over 54 languages that anybody can read and share. There are tales from around the world that help students learn about other cultures. They are thought provoking and enriching. You should definitely check out this site!
