An excellent tool for multicultural education,
By Elizabeth A. Persons (Pensacola, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bel Peyi Mwen (Paperback)
As a preschool teacher I found that "Bel Peyi Mwen" is an excellent tool for exposing my students to a diffferent culture. I recently had the opportunity to visit Haiti and the Dominican Republic and found this book a true representation of the Hatian culture. I highly recommend it to educators of all ages!

This review is from: Bel Peyi Mwen (Paperback)
I recently had the opportunity to meet Kristopher Battles when he returned to the United States for a brief trip. While in Florida I received a copy of his coloring book, and have thoroughly enjoyed each page of it. Upon talking to Kris and his beautiful wife Kelly, I discovered that the pages of his book truly reflect life in Haiti. I firmly recommend that any lover of childrens books purchase this fine piece of work.

Terrific coloring book!,

This review is from: Bel Peyi Mwen (Paperback)
The pictures and short narratives are wonderful. You feel like you are getting a glimpse into their real life, a life that's very different than most of ours. The poverty is shown but not dramatized. It shows the hard work, ingenuity, and beautiful spirit of the people. I hope to see more coloring books about Haiti in the future! This one is great!
