"Reinforces the sense that kids around the world are more alike than different." --Booklist
"An excellent tool for explaining how cultures connect." --School Library Journal
Meet Charlie and Carlitos. Charlie lives in America. Carlitos, his primo, lives in Mexico. Charlie takes the subway to school, plays basketball with his friends, and loves pizza. Carlitos rides his bicicleta to school and enjoys playing fútbol at recess, and his favorite meal is quesadillas.
Their lives appear different, but do Charlie and Carlitos have more in common than it seems?
- Learn about Carlitos and his life in rural Mexico.
- Learn what's different about his daily life and what's the same, compared to life in the United States.
- Learn that kids everywhere can be very alike, even if their clothes, food, and homes are very different.
- And more!
Through his artwork and story, Duncan Tonatiuh introduces young readers to a very timely idea--that community is larger than just neighborhoods and schools.
