Each year the labour gets harder as they need to travel further to find new suitable areas of grass.

Contacts I made on my first trip to Morocco arranged a family home stay, allowing me to spend some weeks with a Berber family, living in an area of particular interest to me. A wonderful, thought-provoking book, one that can teach about both human diversity and unity, Mirror is printed (title, introduction, afterword) in English on one side, and Arabic on the other, making this a book that truly can be appreciated by people from a wide variety of backgrounds. We see that in the context of strikingly different lifestyles, remotely different countries, landscapes, differences of clothing and all. In promoting the work, whenever the English title is used, we’ve striven to have the Arabic title placed alongside it: the two titles together having become the project logo. Even in the tiniest villages, a football field, often carefully outlined with large rocks, will always be in use.

What links two families, one living in Sydney, Australia, the other in a village in southern Morocco? It was my American editor who suggested the Moroccan title, introduction and author’s note in the Moroccan part should be in Arabic.

This resource provides Super Six activities on Mirror by Jeannie Baker, and is suitable for an upper primary classroom (approx Year 3-6). First I climbed a large rock, a good vantage point from which to fling myself up and across the mule’s back. The book sets these characters up side by side so the reader can see how their lives contrast one another. I love learning about other cultures and this is a unique way to show that while both cultures are different, they still partake in the same things.Designed to be read side by side -- one from the left and the other from the right -- these intriguing stories are told entirely through richly detailed collage illustrations. I shout out and sign to ask if I’m going the right way and she walks down to me and invites me to her home for tea. I appreciate how the author/illustrator highlights the desire to know and connect with the rest of the world in both cultures.
