One World, One Day uses exquisite, moving photographs and Barbara Kerley's poetic text to convey a simple yet profound concept: we are one global family. This is a sophisticated concept book, presented as an elegant picture book with contributions from top international photographers.
This beautiful photo book follows the course of one day in our world. Sunrise to sunset is captured in the essential things we all do daily, wherever we live in the world, and in the different ways we do them. The first meal of the day will take on a whole new dimension for American kids as an American pancake breakfast is contrasted with porridge in North Korea and churros in Spain.
At the end, each image is reprinted as a thumbnail and accompanied by a detailed caption. Selected images feature photographers' notes that share the thoughts and methodology involved in the making of the picture and reveal fascinating behind-the-scenes information. The photographers reflect on how the pictures might resonate within the theme of the global family. Such reflections are rooted in the life experiences of these well-traveled professionals. Their global viewpoints, in tandem with Barbara Kerley's powerful message, set an ideal example for all future world citizens.

reviewed One World, One Day on August 28, 2010 One World, One Day
This is a fabulous book. As I was reading along, I was thinking that this was a good and simple book for young children, a great way to introduce the concept that there are different cultures, that children live differently in different places, but also share many similarities. But it seemed to be a 4 or even 3 star book. Then, I got to the notes, one for every photograph, in the back of the book, and these notes made this book so appropriate for older kids (and younger kids with questions!) and of interest to adult family members too. There is also a map of the world (maps in books being one of my favorite things!) in the back that shows the locations with page numbers for every photo. It's then easy to see the locations of the children covered, and it's definitely not an even distribution, but still an interesting one. I love the boy from Guinea-Bissau, Africa who asks the author whether America has a moon, thinking of America as being in a whole other world. In the book proper, the children are covered from waking, breakfast, school (one has quite an adventure to get there!), lunch, chores & play, dinner, family and rest time, sleep. The way the book is structured makes it appealing for all age groups. It's not a perfect book, but I ended up being wowed.
