More than just a collection of maps, the Friends around the World Atlas gives kids a glimpse into the everyday lives of people in different countries and helps them see that we are all different--and the same--in so many ways. Did you know that the Philippines is a nation of more than 7,000 volcanic islands? Or that many families in Ethiopia grow a super grain called teff for their food? Or that Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Africa, but more than 12 million people live there? And homes in rural Bolivia are made from clay bricks! Includes fold-out map, passport, and more! Let the adventure begin!.
