Furaha Means Happy: A Book of Swahili Words

32 pp. | Hyperion/Jump | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-0552-8 $$12.99
(4) K-3 While a Kenyan family picnics by a lake, every other spread gives five or six Swahili vocabulary words matched with pictures from the family's picnic. Although the black-outlined paintings are attractive and child-friendly, the story line is thin and the family's culture is more recognizably western than African.
