About This Book

Follow a real child through a day in their life in one of six countries in our world. What's it really like to live in Jamaica? Come and experience a day in the life of one child, from the moment they get up to the moment they go to bed. See inside their home, their school, and find out about all the things they do each day, what they do with their friends, and what family life is like.

Our Review

This engaging cultural exploration follows a Jamaican child through their daily routine, offering young readers an authentic window into life on the Caribbean island. Children will discover what school looks like in Jamaica, what games local friends play together, and how family life unfolds in a different cultural setting. The narrative moves naturally from morning routines through evening activities, providing a complete picture of daily experiences. Through vivid descriptions of homes, classrooms, and community spaces, this book creates an immersive cultural experience that feels both educational and adventurous.

What sets this global awareness book apart is its focus on a single child's perspective, making foreign customs and traditions relatable through the universal framework of a daily schedule. Young readers will appreciate seeing how another child's life contains familiar elements like school, play, and family time, while also discovering exciting differences in food, language, and activities. The approach makes learning about world cultures feel personal rather than academic, helping children develop empathy and curiosity about lives different from their own. This thoughtful presentation of Jamaican daily life will leave readers with lasting impressions about our diverse yet connected world.
