About this deal

Designed to be looked at together it requires a lot of space to open it all up, but it’s totally worth it. I had expected to be working alongside the girls but it was now obvious that was not what they expected at all. Pictures that cleverly fold out from each side eloquently reveal the external differences and inner parallels that constitute their lives.

Ivy and Clara didn’t really pick up much of the different culture, same life aspect but their interest in the pictures more than made up for it. Compare families/cultures that speak the same language or possibly compare more than 2 different families/cultures? Be smarter than me, be more like Ivy, she can figure out how to open it, see: It opens from the middle out… very tricky. We arrived back about 3pm: it had taken twelve hours of work for the girls to collect a supply of grasses for fuel. These worlds couldn’t be further apart, yet with the showing of the parallel lives of the two families, we see a simple truth.I came away with the understanding I could do almost whatever I wanted re the carpet in my story … that there are no particular colours and designs relating to the Valley of Roses … and anyway the wife of the man in my story could come from a village elsewhere and bring her style of weaving with her. The girls packed their donkeys high with grass bundles and we made our way back to Idlerson village: (there hardly being a tree to be seen in all this distance) the girls walking this time though occasionally taking a ride on our mule. An innovative, two-in-one picture book follows a parallel day in the life of two one in a Western city and one in a North African village. In this unique book, the story of a family in Australia is paralleled with a family in Morocco using side-by-side open-out texts, the story entirely told in Baker's unique artwork.

Nevertheless, I do hope to encourage children to be enriched and curious, rather than fearful of cultural difference and to see the ‘stranger’ as most probably, in the ways that really matter, not a stranger at all. The social and economic status of the Arabians isn’t necessarily more poor on accident, rather, I believe it is more simple on purpose. This resource provides Super Six activities on Mirror by Jeannie Baker, and is suitable for an upper primary classroom (approx Year 3-6). The book follows two boys, (the boy on the left lives in Sydney Australia and the one on the right lives in Morocco) as they go about their day.In this book, we follow a day in the lives of two children and two families, one in Australia and one in Morocco, North Africa, from the rising of the sun and early morning until the last rays of sunlight disappear over the horizon as both families gather for their evening meal. Salience is another visual element that was used, again the moon showed this; it is bright and up higher so the reader's eye is drawn to it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for children's books about the world's diverse peoples, and those things that tie us together - think books like Children Just Like Me, or My Librarian Is a Camel: How Books Are Brought to Children Around the World - or to fans of Jeannie Baker, and wordless picture-books. A kasbah was a mud brick fortified lordly residence often having four crenulated towers, one at each corner of the walls. As my ideas slowly evolved, the oblong boxes grew larger until each was eventually the size of a page of the book I hoped would interest my publisher.

While the right side is more calm and peaceful because of the desert land, the minimal people around, and the praying. MIRROR’ and in particular focus on some of the ideas, images and experiences behind the Moroccan part of this story. The colorful art work will appeal to children, as they reflect the world through a child’s eyes, using childlike drawings to depict their different lives. The second wordless picture-book I have 'read' from immensely talented Australian children's author/artist Jeannie Baker - the first was the marvelous Home - this innovative book is really two stories in one. From here, we would share our thoughts as as a whole-class, and I would emphasize the importance of seeing from multiple perspectives rather than just our own.I shout out and sign to ask if I’m going the right way and she walks down to me and invites me to her home for tea. Even in the tiniest villages, a football field, often carefully outlined with large rocks, will always be in use. The English side opens as Americans are used to and the story is meant to be enjoyed by flipping the pages to the left.

Page by page, we experience a day in the lives of two boys and their families – one from inner city Sydney, Australia and the other from a small, remote village in Morocco, North Africa. One of the joys of working in the medium of picture books and wordless books even more so is the wide scope for discovery and a spectrum of interpretations. Recently, some Berber women have adopted the veil, but most remain comfortable with the gaze of the outside world. Page by page, we experience the lives of two little boys – one from an urban family in Sydney, Australia, the other from Morocco.

Two diverse countries and cultures are linked with warmth and charm in this two-in-one picture book. The use of technology permeates both the Western world and the African world, standing in sharp contrasts to the natural beauty. I designed the cover so the front cover would be the cover of the Australian journey and the back cover the cover of the Moroccan journey.
