Side-by-side pictures illustrate the same story line, showing similarities and differences between the lives of two boys, one in a western town and one in a rural African village. The words for both stories are the same and run through the middle of the page. The text is very simple, but the details in the pictures are delightful and could captivate kids and grown-ups. This is a great book for discussion since it helps kids develop observation skills and see another way of life.
