Description

I See the Sun in Botswana is the 10th book in the award-winning series of bi-lingual picture books, each focused on one country and one day in the life of one child. This book provides a unique introduction to the culture, family life, and language of Botswana in a way that is age-appropriate and sensitive to the true environment. Professionally translated by a native of Botswana and illustrated with intricate collages, I See the Sun in Botswana also includes a glossary of unfamiliar words, an overview of the country, and suggested activities.

About the Author
Judith Inglese has been designing and fabricating ceramic tile murals for public environments for more than thirty years. Her commissions include libraries, schools, hospitals and municipal and institutional buildings like the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Her murals often focus on the play and imagination of children as well as cross-cultural exchange and community. In the I See the Sun books, she combines photography, cut paper and drawing in her collage illustrations. Like her ceramic tile murals, her illustrations are colorful and detailed with strong forms and line work. Author, Dedie King, a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, also taught school there. She travels extensively and spends a considerable amount of time, not as a tourist, but immersed in many cultures, living with families who open their homes to her. She holds a MEd and has taught elementary school and children with learning disabilities. Her interest in writing books about different cultures is to bring awareness to young children of both the sameness and the differences of cultures around the world.

Reviews
"As with earlier books in the series, it's a gentle, intimate glimpse into the parallels and differences in the lives of children around the world." Publishers Weekly's review of I See the Sun in India

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
