In this delightful, colorful book, readers will discover some of the games that are played by kids around the world—from stickball to tug-of-war, wheelbarrow rides to rolling tires. Discover how children in many parts of Africa build their own bicycles from scraps of wood. Learn how poverty is no barrier to play and join a soccer game played with a ball made from plastic bags, string, and rubber bands. Join kite flyers in Afghanistan and Baka children in Cameroon who create homemade swings using long vines that grow from the rain forest trees! The book includes a world map that pinpoints where every story comes from. Supported with stunning, detailed photos, this book is an engaging nonfiction read and a fascinating exploration of play and toys.
