A couple of years ago, I wrote a post on Noonday's blog, Flourish, featuring ten of my favorite books for kids that are set in Noonday's partner countries (and many written by authors from those countries). Now that we are all sheltering in place, I decided to update this post with some links to read-aloud videos on YouTube. Enjoy treasuring these books with your children!

I rounded up ten of my favorite books for kids that are set in Noonday's partner countries (and many written by authors from those countries). Take a look at this tiny glimpse of the vast world of global literature, and how it can help our kids (and us) see that the beauty, curiosity, sadness and joy all over the world all make up the rich tapestry of being human. Features books set in Uganda, Ecuador, Guatemala, Vietnam, Peru, Haiti, Kenya, Ethiopia, and more.
