Give Your Child the World Booklist

We've been wanting to improve our selection of books about other cultures for some time, so we were VERY excited to hear about this new booklist about children around the world. Give Your Child the World introduces your children, ages 4-12, to children from Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Australia & Oceania, and North America, as well as introducing them to polar exploration. We were so excited to find this book that we've gone ahead and added every single title to our database. It's not done yet (should be close by early August), but when it is, you will be able to filter this list by region and recommended age level to find fantastic suggestions for library trips. This list will also provide a springboard for us to bring in more titles to offer here at Exodus.

But don't think this list lets you off the hook for buying the book! Author Jamie Martin offers far more in the book than just a list!

Happy hunting!
