A multicultural anthology of traditional stories is complemented by beautiful full-color artwork and introductions by ten youngsters representing diverse world cultures.

Ten children, originally featured in Children just like me, introduce tales from their countries which have been chosen and retold by Jamila Gavin. Richly illustrated with images of different cultures.

In Children Just Like Me: Our Favorite Stories, we meet real children from around the world who introduce us to the stories that are favorites in their countries. From Erdene, who lives on the Mongolian steppes, to Meena in rural India and Houda in urban Morocco come tales of dazzling horsemanship, the birth of great gods, and the building of palaces to rival paradise. As we read about the characters and images of different cultures, we realize that though our environments are richly diverse, our stories contain what we share -- human fears and ambitions, values, and humor. This is a book from real children and for real children everywhere.

Ten illustrated folk tales from around the world.
