Summary

Bring the richness & vitality of the world to your students! As people from around the world immigrated to the United States, they brought a rich repository of culture, stories, beliefs, history, art, & so much more. With this resource, educators can choose one of the 20 featured countries & begin a thorough immersion into its unique traditions. Not only is the information presented in a lively, reader-friendly style, but also the reader will find fun enrichments such as a recipe to try or a folktale to enjoy. Parents & teachers will benefit from the suggested activities in math, reading, writing, & the creative arts. Internet sites & suggested readings for further research complete this written commitment to multicultural appreciation.
