Quick Summary
From the sweeping sand dunes of the Horn of Africa to bustling market streets, this book pulls back the curtain on a country many kids only hear about in the news. Kids will enjoy bright photos of nomads with their camels, lively descriptions of traditional music, and surprising facts about how people farm, fish, and celebrate in a land of scorching heat and cool coastal breezes. If your child enjoys dipping into other cultures through the 'National Geographic Kids' series or the 'Who Would Win?' books, they will love this guide to Somalia. It is ideal for children ages 6 to 9, roughly grades 1 through 3, who are curious about the world beyond their own backyard.
