An introduction to the life of seven different children who live around the world in circumstances more typical a century or two ago. Their families have no stores to go to, so everything they eat, the clothes they wear, the houses they live in all come from resources they have at hand. You will meet each child in its family setting, seeing how both the father and mother work together to provide for their children. You will share in a family meal, see what all members of the family wear, and learn how their house was constructed, as well as what they enjoy doing in their free time: the games they play, the music they make, and the stories they listen to.
