Hands of the Rain Forest: The Emberá People of Panama di Rachel Crandell
Cultural traditions and methods of survival practiced by rain forest inhabitants are discussed in interesting text and complementary pictures
"Hands of the Maya: Villagers at Work and Play" is a book that gives the readers a day in the life on Maya villagers. The villagers are all skilled with their hands, they cook, weave clothing, build, draw, and play instruments. I loved the illustrations of this story. There are real photographs of Maya villagers at work. At the end of this book, there is a glossary since the book has words that are unfamiliar to the readers. For example, "masa" is a wet, softened ground corn used as dough. Overall, this was an interesting read that is for people of any age who want to learn about a different culture.… (altro)
This is a book about the Embera tribe in Panama. It shows us how these people live their daily lives and how they use what is in the forest. For example, they use the wood to carve figures and certain fruits to make mosquito repellent. This would be an interesting book to show students how compare and contrast. Perhaps we can make Venn diagrams to show the similarities and differences between the American and Embera cultures. (ELA) For grades 1-2
This book gives information on the Mayan culture. It is informational and easy to read. The book has photographs to go along with all the points. It shows how the Mayans live, work, and play everyday. Everyone is very colorful and is a master of their own art; a great display of culture.
