Jambo Means Hello

A really good book to introduce a child to Swahili prior to a holiday to East Africa. The art work is great and it contains some good pieces about african culture. Although limited to an alphabet book I found it stimulated interest enough to encourage further learning.

Learning language and culture of another people.

This children's book, also illustrated by Tom Feelings, is an alphabet book that teaches Swahili words and African culture. With each word, a child learns more about this vibrant African culture. It was a 1975 Caldecott Honor book (i.e., a runner-up to the Medal winner) for best illustration in a children's book.
