Book SynopsisWINNER of The Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2022.WINNER of the ALCS Educational Writers' Award 2023.A terrific find for social studies teachers seeking to promote inquiry and active citizenship. Picked by School Library Journal for the Best Nonfiction books of 2021.There are more than 8 billion humans living on Earth, but it''s tricky to picture so many people! So instead, let''s imagine the whole planet is a village where 100 people live each person representing around 80 million people in the real worldSo what does our global village of 100 people look like? Are they all grown-ups? Are there more males or females? How many have black hair or blue eyes? What languages do they speak? Who can read and write? How many have access to the internet or have enough food to eat? Does everyone have access to electricity or clean water?This thought-provoking book answers all of these questions and much, much more! Big ideas are broken into bitesize chunks through clever illustration aTrade Review“This book enlightened me about what is going on in the world today.” – Perth Academy, Scotland “This book highlights issues many people have on the planet and reveals what we have in common.” – Tynecastle High School, Scotland “The power of this book lies in its simple yet relatable numbers and powerful imagery, which conveys how much we all have in common but also how many people still do not have things many of us may take for granted, from clean water to the internet. I hope the data and ideas in this book will help the younger generation think about how we can work together to tackle these issues, and what the world’s ‘global village’ may look like in the future.” – Professor Alan Wilson, Fellow of the Royal Society and Chair panellist “I was blown away by the way the facts were presented. I love the illustrations in this book, and how they bought the story to life. You can see a glimpse into everyone around the world, and how we all come in different shapes, sizes, colours and abilities.” – Nathan Bryon, panellist on the Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize 2022 and award-winning author “This visually engaging nonfiction picture book begins with a simple conceit: “It’s tricky to picture 8,000,000,000 people, so instead, let’s imagine the whole planet is a village where 100 people live.” The upfront prose gently advocates for change where needed: “Every year, about a third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste. That is more than enough to feed the 11 people who are hungry.” Bright, eye-catching art by Cushley features an inclusive cast and additional annotated facts. An informative, appealing primer on societal data.” US Publishers Weekly
