Rezensionen
"This book enlightened me about what is going on in the world today." - Perth Academy, Scotland

"This book highlights issues many people have on the planet and reveals what we have in common." - Tynecastle High School, Scotland

"The power of this book lies in its simple yet relatable numbers and powerful imagery, which conveys how much we all have in common but also how many people still do not have things many of us may take for granted, from clean water to the internet. I hope the data and ideas in this book will help the younger generation think about how we can work together to tackle these issues, and what the world's 'global village' may look like in the future." - Professor Alan Wilson, Fellow of the Royal Society and Chair panellist

"I was blown away by the way the facts were presented. I love the illustrations in this book, and how they bought the story to life. You can see a glimpse into everyone around the world, and how we all come in different shapes, sizes, colours and abilities." - Nathan Bryon, panellist on the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2022 and award-winning author

"This visually engaging nonfiction picture book begins with a simple conceit: "It's tricky to picture 8,000,000,000 people, so instead, let's imagine the whole planet is a village where 100 people live." The upfront prose gently advocates for change where needed: "Every year, about a third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste. That is more than enough to feed the 11 people who are hungry." Bright, eye-catching art by Cushley features an inclusive cast and additional annotated facts. An informative, appealing primer on societal data." US Publishers Weekly
