If the World Were a Village 2nd Ed.

At this moment, there are 7 billion people on the planet! It's hard to picture so many people at one time--but what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people?

In this village:

• 21 people speak a Chinese dialect
• 10 earn less than two dollars a day
• 14 cannot read or write
• 45 have a television in their homes
• 47 do not always have enough to eat

If the World Were a Village tells us who we are, where we live, how fast we are growing, what languages we speak, what religions we practice and more.

This new edition updates and expands that statistics and provides new information on food security, energy consumption and health, as well as several new activities that will stimulate discussion and show children and families how they can become more world-minded.
