I Like, I Don't Like

This engaging, eye-opening picture book for K-6 uses the juxtaposition of two simple sentences – I like, I don’t like – to illuminate child labour and poverty around the world. The compare/contrast strategy reveals the daily life of fortunate children vs. that of the less fortunate. Colourful, visually compelling illustrations incorporate photographs of children’s faces to capture the stark contrast of their experiences. Suitable as a read-aloud to prompt discussions, writing, debate, and critical thinking about complex social issues involving poverty and child labour, for independent or partner reading, and for research and learning about human rights, privilege, poverty, and child labour.
