Description
This book presents information on the history, geography, people, culture, and contemporary issues of the country of Lebanon.
Quick Summary
From crawling through ancient Roman temple ruins that are older than Rome itself to tasting fresh pomegranate in mountain villages where cedar trees have watched over the land for millennia, Lebanon invites young explorers to discover a country where Phoenician sailors once ruled the seas and modern chefs now reinvent dishes their ancestors made thousands of years ago. Kids will love zooming in on stunning photographs of Byzantine mosaics, getting lost in descriptions of bustling Beirut markets, and feeling like time travelers as they read about civilizations that built, fought, and created in this tiny nation wedged between mountains and sea. If your kid loves diving into cultural adventure books like "National Geographic Kids: Egypt" or the "Lonely Planet Kids Not-For-Parents" series, they'll devour this passport to the Middle East. This book is a perfect match for kids in grades 5 through 8 who are curious about world geography, history, and how people live in places they've never visited.
