Book Reviews of The Village of Round and Square Houses

Book Review: Celebrate the Cultures
Summary: 5 Stars

We enjoyed the story within the story of this book. It tells why some huts are round and some are square to this day in a small African village. This story is of men's & women's strengths & differences, the celebration of family and of the tradition of storytelling. The artwork adds to the quality of this book.
