One World, Many People introduces school-age children to the fundamentals of cultural diversity, serving as an early introduction into the principles of anthropology. The book is an exploration of how the people of the world approach many of the important elements of life. This exploration begins and ends with artifacts, both those left behind by ancient civilizations and those being created in the world today. Together, these objects, and the traditions associated with them, reveal how human beings worldwide have shared the same needs and have fulfilled them in very different ways. From the delightful illustrations to Ms. Barnett's insightful text, One World, Many People is that rare book that children can love and return to over and over, whether using the book in the classroom or as a shared learning experience with parents in the home.
