B Is for Bangladesh
Urmi Rahman, Prodeepta Das
Hardcover
(Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Nov. 24, 2009)
From Dhaka to Jamdani, from Crocodile to Rickshaw, B Is for Bangladesh profiles a young country, once part of India, with an ancient history and centuries of tradition. Vibrant photographs show the resilient Bangladeshi people, who welcome visitors with a smile. Most of the citizens are Muslims, but there are also Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists, all featured here. The book also showcases the country's natural wonders in striking images of the world's largest mangrove forest, where tigers roam; and the rivers that criss-cross the land, feeding the rice-fields as they flow south. From everyday items like food and clothing, to historical and cultural sites, B Is for Bangladesh shows young readers what it's like to live in this fascinating country.
