Faces®

In our multicultural world, FACES is the only children’s magazine that shows young readers how people in other countries, regions, and places live. FACES fosters an appreciation of the world's many traditions, encouraging young readers to think from new perspectives. Topics each year include national and ethnic groups, global issues, a biography of an international figure, and an up-close look at a region of the U.S.

• High-interest photos highlight every article
• Folk tales strengthen and add insight to a culture's customs
• Maps and time lines provide easy-to-read details

"FACES^® gives young readers engaging and fun stories to read to learn about their world." - Sarah Witham Bednarz, Department of Geography, Texas A & M University
