Where Children Sleep

Have been reading this to Betsy for the past few days.

It's an amazing book that features pictures of children next to photographs of where they sleep, with a short description about their lives. There are American mini-pageant queens, children who live in Manhattan mansions with security guards, Aids orphans, refugees, children who sleep on matresses by the side of the road, a ten year old Japanese Sumo Champion. Reading about some of these hard and very diferent lives to my 11 year old has thrown up some challenges, but that is a good thing.

It is by James Mollison who says in the introduction, 'I hope this book will help children think about inequality in and between societies around the world, and perhaps start to figure out how, in their own lives, they may respond.'.
