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!

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.

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!

This book would provide ALL coloring age children, not only with the usual line drawings to color, but would tweak their interest about the line drawings and then provide simple easy to understand explanations about the picture at the bottom of each page. Thus increasing their knowledge about a different people and different way of life
