Alyssa (The Shady Glade) (shadyglade) | 22 comments I'm hoping someone might know what book this is.

In my children's literature a few years ago the teacher showed us a non-fiction picture book that featured families from around the world photographed with all their possessions. Each photo would show the whole family, and everything they owned pulled out of their house. The idea was that you could see the difference between countries in how much stuff people have.

Unfortunately I don't know how old the book is, but it looks like it was published in the late 80s/early 90s based on what the American family was wearing in the photographs.

Thanks for the help!
