I Live on an Island

The concept of community is a cornerstone both of the elementary social studies curriculum and of a child's developing understanding of how they fit into their world. This series tells your readers what it's like to live in different types of communities from the perspective of a peer. The featured child in each book takes readers on a tour of his or her community -- where the child lives, where he or she goes to school, and things kids do for fun. Readers get insights into the lives of six engaging young children while gaining a sense of how different cultural and geographical environments can affect how people live, learn, work, and play.
