With contributors from across the globe there are examples of local childhoods from different national contexts including America, Australia, Finland, Hong-Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Norway and Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach chapter presents a different focus on early childhood showing the diversity and complexity across multiple countries. Issues emerge around multi-language development, nationalism and multiculturalism. Across the chapters, concepts around cultural theories of every-day life also show the ways in which practices of and in relation to children function to produce childhood as an artefact, fiction and instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt helps readers to develop an understanding of how changing perspectives on children and childhood and identity are expressed among children, families and educators in and outside educational environments. It brings together active researchers in the field of global childhoods to sustain and develop our community of research and scholarship, promoting internationalization through global childhoods as a way of cultural diversity and acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book reflects on early childhood before and leading up to Covid-19. The editors were able to create a historical snapshot of early childhood pre-Covid from several countries. The pandemic has demanded major changes around learning, agency, voice and lived experience for children around the world. In some countries there are children in lockdown, without access to learning and who have ceased to be recognised as a child. In other countries life has continued with social distancing and masks in educational spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt will be a useful resource for students and academics in early childhood education and education studies more generally, as well as practitioners and educators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cem\u003eAnette Hellman and Susanne Garvis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Globalization and Child Education: Research in Early Childhood Education Through Five Decades – \u003cem\u003ePia Williams and Ingrid Pramling Samuelsson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Transitioning Into Formal Education: One on the Journey to Achieve SDG 4 – \u003cem\u003eDonna Pendergast, Katherine Main and Adelle Friswell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Raising Children’s Sustainability Consciousness – \u003cem\u003eSally Windsor, Kalliopi Moraiti and Susanne Garvis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Good Childhood in the Nordic Countries: Insider and Outsider Perspectives – \u003cem\u003eJudith T.
