The picture book text says O'run-del'lico was "invited" to visit England, which may or may not have been the case. But I was uncomfortable with the way in which the book glossed over the larger implications of colonialism and the ways that western exploration affected the societies that it touched and exploited.I connect the sale of humans with slavery and human trafficking, yet there is no indication from the text that anyone should be considering questions of morality in relation to O'run-del'lico's experience. I understand simplifying events for children, but here that’s to the point of historical inaccuracy. The colours and contrasts are great and a good talking point when reading this book, for example there is page that is all red and gold when he meets the king and queen - lots can be inferred from this. The fact that people tried to change him so much and that he almost acted like the people that offered him a new culture but then ultimately never changed who he was resonated with me at my core.

Jemmy Button, a native of Tierra del Fuego, was brought to England in the mid-1800s to be "educated and civilized. students may be able to relate to leaving "home" and having to try and make themselves feel at home somewhere else. This emphasis to children of the importance of staying true to your own beliefs and traditions where ever you may be in the world. Following the story are two paragraphs about the life of Orundellico, the inspiration for this book.Another activity that I would do with students would be to highlight geography and how the world trades and interacts with each other by the spread of culture. a slow introduction into biographies (the illustrations help students to understand what Jemmy went through.

In exchange for a mother-of-pearl button, a young boy named Orundellico is taken from his home at the tip of South America and brought to England by Captain Robert FitzRoy. I can see why contrasting illustration styles were chosen, but I would have preferred more representativeness. Delighted to be home, Jemmy immediately removed his clothes, relearned his native language and became part of his own culture again.The illustrations are captivating and show how isolated Jemmy Button feels particularly because the European people have been shown as silhouettes and dark figures.

The people who took him back to their land introduced him to so many new things and changed his style and his life in so many ways. I read this book to Gabby as last in a series of books we read that night, and by the time we got to this one, she was more interested in making up her own stories than listening to this one. This can then follow on to learn more about the true story and the conclusions Darwin and the other scientists made.Taken from his island home as a child and taken to Victorian England for instruction in the ways of proper living, Jemmy Button (as he is known because his parents were given a pearl button in exchange for him) conforms to society but only just quite. ditanah orang nya tu pokoknya serba wah aja kaya amazing banget dengan segalanya baik kultur maupun teknologi. I believe this could show a personal perspective of a boy who experienced a new culture but ultimately loved his own. Jemmy always felt smaller than everything and felt that everything was almost like his life on the island.
