The illustrated encyclopedia will acquaint you with the life and traditions of different countries and show the world in all its diversity. Noe lives in Cambodia, in a real house on stilts. Akbota hunts with a golden eagle like his father. Nyadma wanders the tundra with her parents in search of food for deer. The heroes of this book are simple boys and girls. They live in different parts of the globe and invite readers to visit them: get acquainted with their customs, holidays, traditional clothes, arrangement of houses and favorite games. You'll visit the bustling streets of New York, take a ride through the flooded canals of Venice and peek into the warm yurts of the Nenets who live in the Far North. And together with your new friends, rush along the cable car in the wild jungle, swim with pink dolphins in the warm seas and look into the house, which is built of clay.
