The Journey Home

“If the world were a village and a hundred people live in the village...” Written by David J Smith and illustrated by Shelagh Armstrong, If the World Were a Village tells us in simple words and vibrant, beautiful illustrations about the world and its population; about who we are, where we live, what languages we speak, what religions we practice and much more.

Instead of unimaginable billions, it presents the whole world as a village of just 100 people. We soon find out that 22 speak a Chinese dialect and that 17 cannot read or write. We also discover the people's religions, their education, their standard of living, and much much more.

In a simple and fascinating way, this book provokes thoughts and inspires curiosity towards geography, people and different customs and cultures. An original idea that will entertain and stimulate both children and adults!
