Tomorrow, Group A will be meeting to discuss this book. It is called "This Child, Every Child" and was written by David J Smith. This book is about the many different ways children live around the world.
I taught it was mean the way a 9 year old girl was engaged,but her parents had picked who she was going to marry.I also didn't like the way they treated the girls like they weren't good enough to go to school that they would just stay home all the time and look after their children.
I really liked the book, I think it was bad for the girl to have to do the house chores and go for water while her brother went to school and got an education. I think it really opens your mind to what other people in the world have to do!
This book is very interesting because it tells you what is happening to children all over the world. One story in particular that caught my eye is about a girl named Sara, she is nine years old. Even though she is only nine she is engaged to be married. Her parents made this arrangement when she was an infant. The law is that you are not allowed to be married until you are 18, but in her village half the girls between 10 and 14 are married. It just made me think that if I lived with Sara there is a good chance I would be engaged or evrn married !! It makes me feel so lucky that I get to make that decision when I am ready .....
I think this book is very interesting and I love to read how different children get on in their lives.I do think it's a little cruel that very young children at about the age of twelve get sent to fight in the war and they get taught about guns and it completely brainwashes them and from reading that it makes me feel really lucky that I don't live in their country. ~Zaklin
This child every child tells us about a few children in different situatoins for example Sam a young teenage boy in Sierra Leone was taken from his family and was forced to join a small rebel army he escaped a few months later but now suffers from nightmares.This child every child has created a small group called UNICEF this group want to help children like Sam
I loved reading this book it made me realize how lucky I am compared to other children around the world. Like Sam from Sierrra Leone who was 13 years of age when he was kidnapped and brought to war . Anyway it's a great book and I loved the illistrations in it ! :)
The book that I read was called a child every child.I think that it was very sad because some people in the world had been treated differently.I felt sorry for a six years old girl who was adopted because her mother couldn't take care of her.Even worse she had to move to San Franciso.Children should have their own rights.
This book was actually interesting it was about all types of traditions.When I finished reading this book I thought of how lucky I was. Like in a part of the book it says that boys and girls are not treated equally,when children were small their marriage was already made for them but it used to happen in Ireland too.
I didn't like the way that a young girl that had to get married at the age at only 9.And I feel very lucky:)
