In "How the World Lives" Christine Schulz-Reiss travels around the world - from the endless prairie through the untouched jungles of Brazil to the urban jungle of New York City. While some children are reluctant to go to school, education is for others a luxury they cannot afford. Some children can eat plenty of fast food while others have to worry each day if their family will have enough to eat for everyone. The author tells in an informative, entertaining and comprehensible way of the differences and also the many similarities that exist between the children living on five different continents.
