Exploring World Cultures (Groups 1 – 2)

In an increasingly global society, the actions of one country can often be felt around the world. A crop failure in Peru can influence the food supply in Canada. Music from Germany can inspire a musician in Mexico. Trade, culture, government, and more all influence our global society. Learning about other countries is a crucial part of being a global citizen. Engaging text and enlightening sidebars give readers a comprehensive overview of Brazil, India, China, and more. By learning about the differences between their own and other cultures, children gain a deeper respect for all people.
