{"product_id":"9781553377320","title":"If the World Were a Village : A Book About the World's People","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are currently more than six billion people on the planet! This enormous number can be difficult to grasp, especially for a child. But what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people? In this village * 22 people speak a Chinese dialect * 20 earn less than a dollar a day * 32 are of Christian faith * 17 cannot read or write * 39 are under 19 years old In a time when parents and educators are looking to help children gain a better understanding of the world's peoples and their ways of life, If the World Were a Village offers a unique and objective resource. By exploring the lives of the 100 villagers, children will discover that life in other nations is often very different from their own. The shrunk-down statistics — some surprising, some shocking — and David Smith's tips on building \"world-mindedness\" will encourage readers to embrace the bigger picture and help them to establish their own place in the global village.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kids Can Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045309399280,"sku":"9781553377320","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781553377320_p0.jpg?v=1763754227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781553377320","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
