I like to think that this book was what started my passion with international relations and travel. I spent hours as a kid pouring over these pages, looking at the maps, imagining the conversations I would have with the children in this book. I would memorize the facts listed on the pages, memorize the stories of these children whose lives were very similar to mine. I still have this book, and it remains one of my favorites to this day.

In large, colorful spreads A Life Like Mine shows the lives of children living all over the world. The book is divided into sections showing how different children get water, feed themselves, go to school, play, stay healthy, etc. The book also discusses the fact that a large number of children don't have the basic necessities. This is a great book for browsing and will be interesting to kids who like to know about kids in other cultures.
