The most wonderful children's book about Africa I have found
My daughter and I were simply delighted with this book, and we are voracious readers of tales from foreign lands. For the protagonist, a little American boy born in Africa, Africa is not another place, a foreign country, but the home that he knows and loves, described poignantly through the eyes of a child. It is the USA that is foreign and strange to him, although he acclimates with a sort of ...

Celebrates the resourceful spirit of African children
As I prepared to visit Zambia to learn how communities are coping with the HIV/AIDS pandemic, I tried to help the children of our church understand what life is like in Africa. "You mean they are so poor nobody buys them toys?" Galimoto not only gives a realistic picture of life in a small African village, it celebrates the resourceful spirit of African children. Our young people were filled with ...

A Good Beginning Read
This book is a good read for kids who like stories on what it's like to be a kid. Julie is a kid who's not the brightest in her class and who seems, at first glance, to have few outstanding talents. She isn't good at reading and spelling, and her sister puts her down all the time for being "stupid". Julie desperately wants to find one thing to be good at. Things turn around for her when a ...

Visually exquisite with a thoughtful story
This is a beautiful story by Karen Lynn Williams with exquisite watercolor drawings by Catherine Stock telling the story of a resource poor, but imagination-rich little girl in Haiti who uses the things around her to paint (bricks, feathers) until she has an opportunity to have more people see her work. The paintings within paintings concept is beautiful, especially as it follows the steps of a ...

Environmental Law Handbook

ABS Consulting, 1999

Essential
This handbook is an essential tool to anyone in the environmental field. There are always new additions, so having a recent copy helps but it's not necessary since the environmental laws don't change that much. I would recommend getting a newer edition when a major law has passed so that the reader can understand the impact the new law will have on their community. A copy can usually be found ...
