It's a big, exciting world out there, but you've never seen it quite like this! This colourful, eye-popping universe of infographics takes visual literacy to a 'tech' level, the perfect introduction for a generation entering an increasingly digitised, data-driven world. Packed with dynamic illustrated spreads and guided by a relatable, school-aged narrator, this content-rich book invites readers to see themselves in its pages, and to learn about other kids and cultures around the world, all while stepping back and really seeing the big picture.
"[Me and the World] contains colorful, -varied infographics that discuss topics such as common names, breakfast foods, sports, and religions. The information is presented in various forms, including color-coded and labeled maps, graphs, percentages, and labeled and captioned illustrations. There are many opportunities to compare life around the world. . . . [T]he infographics themselves are interesting to study and contemplate. A teacher, librarian, or parent could help children examine, analyze, and use this information."-School Library Journal
