This series of photographic information books concentrates on the daily lives and experiences of children in countries around the world.

Each book focuses on a particular child's day: from waking up, through breakfast, going to school, learning, travelling home, playing and getting ready for bed.

Six-year-old Cassio lives with his mother, an evening-class teacher and his father, a minibus driver.

Cassio spends much of his school day outside, and he especially likes learning to grow vegetables in the school garden.

Cassio and his friend push each other home from school in Cassio's "carrinho" (barrow), stopping to buy their favourite sweets on the way - these are "doce-de-leite" (milk sweets).

When it comes to the evening meal, his mother always cooks extra, so that there will be enough if friends and family wish to call by.
