Description
Luca and his family live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Luca and his brother love soccer, Brazil's national sport, and they watch their dad's amateur team play and practice. We meet Luca's grandparents, who take care of Luca and his brother after school, and visit the statue of Christ high above the city of Rio de Janeiro. Louisa lives on their family farm in the rolling countryside inland from Rio, where her father grows vegetables and raises cattle. Louisa's mother drives the children each day to their school in the nearest city 50 miles away, where she teaches ballet. When they're home, the children entertain themselves by roller blading and bicycling, watching TV and playing video games.

Elementary Friendly Series July 17, 2008
Overall great DVD. Two stories, age 10 and then age 5 - first one has a very awkward edit that may actually be a mistake? It's not that big of a deal though...Consider your audience and how comfortable you feel with explaining/fielding questions about one of the families having 5 maids who are all much darker skin than they. It's a cultural difference based on a lot of history and something that shouldn't stop you from purchasing this item just as long as you're prepared to discuss (my discussion was with 3rd and 4th graders.)
