If the World Were a Village

I teacher friend and I were talking about books, and something prompted her to show me the book If the World Were a Village by David Smith.  It is a relatively short picture book that puts our world into terms of a village of 100 people.  It talks about the numbers of males/females, religions, ethnicities, etc.

The copy I viewed was a little older--newer editions have since been published.  If I teach religion next school year, I will definately get this to add that perspective to my students' education.

Here is a cute YouTube video of this concept:  If the World Were a Village .
