Book excerpt: It is tempting to travel to another country and highlight things that are different from the way we live and from things we consider normal. This often shows up when we highlight poverty, inadequate infrastructure, customs, and ignore the importance of another¿s culture. In this sketchbook, we have tried to help children capture a look into what another child¿s life is like. Questions scattered throughout the book help children think about their own life and how it is the same or different from a child across the ocean. Malawi, known as the warm heart of Africa, has captured our hearts. We hope it will capture yours as well!In Africa, as in other continents, there are many different countries, governments, geographic features, and climates. In the rural areas of Malawi, Africa, the country I visited with Diane, village life is quite different from life in cities. The beauty and challenges of village life that we experienced, formed the basis for this sketchbook story. We hope this book will be just the beginning of your learning about the complex and varied stories that make up life on the African continent, particularly in the country of Malawi.
