Multicultural Fun and Magic of Worldwide Buddies

 

Worldwide Buddies is a series of fictional, educational stories with characters from different countries that allow readers to imagine a more beautifully complex world. Stories are designed to promote cultural awareness and introduce little ones to diverse realities and wonders of the world, early on.

Each story explores a different underlying social, cultural, or political concept. This is done through simple plots and characters who face everyday challenges that are universal and relevant to every child. The stories tackle serious topics in a light-hearted, funny and positive way.

Please welcome Sandy Tharp-Thee, Cherokee author of The Apple Tree — A Modern-Day Cherokee Story. She has a list of some of her favorite Native American books and stories for children and the child that lives in all of us. We are giving away 25 copies of The Apple Tree.
