The Book of Cultures

There are ample treasures to be had in the 30 beautifully-illustrated fictional stories contained in this delightful hardcover book. Each unfolds in a different part of the world and focuses on a young person who calls that place home (Ana from Brazil, Karim from Egypt, and so on). While short enough to be taken in during a single sitting, each tale vividly lives on in young learners' minds well after the reading is done, reinforced by fun facts and engaging activities that immediately follow the story. The Book of Cultures is an apt title for a book that entertainingly offers up authentic insights into vibrant cultures we might otherwise only dream of encountering. Kids come away with a powerful and enduring sense of fascination for the wondrous people, places and traditions our incredibly diverse world has to offer.
