Educational
I liked this book as its educational for kids, teaching about differences. Nicely presented and fun.
I loved the cultural…
I loved the cultural significance of the buna party. It was described in a way that was both vivid and informative. You did a great job of capturing the atmosphere of the event and giving me a window into a cultural tradition. Your use of language was also very effective, smoothly transition between English and native language. Furthermore, the ending also tied the story together nicely and provided a satisfying conclusion.
What great illustrations!
I loved learning about this Ethiopian way of approaching coffee. What a great tradition to bring into sharing coffee with guests. A life lesson not just for kids, for sure. Kids can be so cruel, but I love how it all shifted with the buna party. What a great lesson of acceptance.
Beyond the it's genre....
Though it is a children's book, The Big Buna Bush is a piece of cross-cultural literature. Well presented in a way that children could absorb complex concepts such as diversity, the book is fun to read.
Beautiful story and illustrations
I thought that this was fantastic. It was both educational and emotive. This book did a great job of taking the reader on a journey and teaching the importance of diversity and inclusivity.
