PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Meet Charly, a 12-year-old boy from the tiny village of Sabou in the African country of Burkina Faso. As the oldest of seven children, Charly has taken on many adult responsibilities since his father died. On his donkey, he fetches water from the local well and uses it to help his mother prepare dolo, a mainstay of their diet. Join Charly as he prepares for and celebrates the village seed-sowing festivities, plays soccer with friends and explains the sacred legend of nearby Crocodile Lake. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
Part of the multivolume Families Around the World Video Series.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"The importance of family and cultural heritage is stressed...this glimpse into other children's lives is interesting and would provide excellent compare/contrast opportunities..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
