Market! by Ted Lewin describes markets in Ecuador, Nepal, Ireland, Uganda, United States, and Morocco. The illustrations are beautiful and accurately depict the people and places in the book. The author tells about the landscape, what is bought and sold, how the people travel to the market, and what is bought and sold there. These are all places that are not talked about in the common curriculum. There are so many social studies opportunities to be connected to this story. Students can have or attend a farmers market where they live to connect to this story.
