'Each and All: The Seven Little Sisters Who Live on a Round Ball' by Jane Andrews is a charming and educational book that was first published in 1877. This book tells the story of seven girls from different parts of the world. Each girl comes from a unique culture, and through their stories, readers learn about different countries, customs, and ways of life.The 'round ball' in the title refers to Earth, the planet we all live on. The seven little sisters are meant to represent children from different continents. Each chapter of the book is dedicated to one of these girls, and through their experiences, readers get a glimpse of how people live in different parts of the world.For example, one of the girls is named Agoonack, who lives in a cold, snowy place called Greenland. Her story teaches readers about the challenges of living in such a harsh environment, where the sun doesn’t shine for months during winter, and the ground is always covered in ice. Another sister, called Pen-se, lives in China, where she helps her family grow rice and takes care of silkworms.What makes this book special is how it shows that, even though people live in different places and have different customs, we all share the same Earth. The stories teach important lessons about kindness, understanding, and respect for others. The girls may speak different languages and wear different clothes, but they all have the same hopes, dreams, and feelings.Jane Andrews wrote this book to help children learn about the world in a fun and engaging way. By reading about the seven little sisters, young readers can develop a better understanding of the world and the people who live in it.
