This is an excellent book. It attemptsto show child labor here and across the world. For example the child on the left likes bricks. Building bricks to let their imaginations soar. But for the child on the right who spends his day carrying bricks, they are heavy back breaking work. Trying to show a child that there are some places where children do not get play can be a hard concept to grasp. It's simple, it's true, it's needed.
