W is for World by Kathryn Cave
A world-oriented alphabet book to widen a child's horizons: a lively mix of the familiar - H is for Home, P is for Peace - with ideas from further afield. Stunning full-colour images from Oxfam's photographers, drawn from more than 20 different countries, invite children to focus on what we share with each other as well as on what is special for one culture or country. The language of the main text is strong and rhythmic, to catch the interest of the very young. Additional information is there for those who are ready to explore ideas further, and for parents reading to children.
