How Old Am I?: 1-100 Faces From Around The World

How Old Am I?: 1-100 Faces From Around The World

Booktalk: A first-ever children’s visual reference book on age — and a unique celebration of the diversity of humankind around the globe.

For young children, the concept of age is abstract when they don’t have a relatable context… until now! This book showcases the faces and life stories of 100 people from around the world in numerical order, from a one-year-old to a centenarian, giving children a reference point for each age.

Activity: Use as a “look book” in a center for the 100th day of school.
