What is it like to grow up in different parts of Africa today? And what's it like to be a child of two cultures -- an American living in Africa, or an African living in America? In South Africa visit the Bushman Farm, where a lonely girl meets a group of Bushmen who are making their living as a tourist attraction -- and finds friendship and family as she's never known them before. In Tanzania join an American family on an unforgettable safari whose highlights include a broken car, a camp of armed men, heat, tsetse flies, and laughter. In Los Angeles be surprised by what happens when a teenage veteran from war in Sierra Leone comes into conflict with a local gang leader. Jane Kurtz, who is herself a child of two cultures -- Ethiopia and America -- has gathered a remarkable collection of voices. These twelve stories and three poems sing of Africa, of America, and of people changing, growing, crying, and laughing under the same sun. africa,african-american,children's,children's books,explore the world,geography and cultures,literary criticism and collections,literature and fiction,multicultural stories,short story collections Children's Books, HarperCollins Publishers<
