Sleep Well, Siba and Saba by Nansubuga Nagadya Isdahl

While you wait, check out these fun stories from the African continent showcasing regular kids being…. These selections are fun and engaging and I am looking forward to the kiddos getting their hands on their boxes. Three of our four selections fit the bill, while the last is the story of a regular girl who goes on an EPIC adventure. Forgetful sisters Siba and Saba are constantly losing things, then dreaming at night of the things that they have lost, until their dreams begin to reveal something else.

Siba and Saba are always losing something.

While stories about heroism and history are important for a number of reasons, children tend to connect with kids from other cultures when they are portrayed as kids doing kid stuff! From my experience, those are the stories that resonate. Read our review of Sleep Well, Siba & Saba at BooksForTopics - the best books. I believe that these are the stories that children can fully relate to. I have probably said it before but I’ll say it again, some of my favorite children’s books are those that showcase kids from other countries and cultures just being regular kids! Books that show them going on fun adventures, being mischievous, and hanging with their friends and family. We have lots of great content on our social media channels so stay tuned in! This month we are exploring Ivory Coast (Côte D’Ivoire), Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. We are off to Africa again! Our return to the continent will keep the kids engaged and learning about different African countries while they are home.
