Jambo Means Hello: Swahili Alphabet Book (Picture Puffin Books)

I work with elementary children who are new to the U.S. I have a young boy from The Republic of Congo. He loves this book because of the beautiful illustrations. It was so exciting to see his face light up when he first saw the book. It was like watching him travel back to his homeland as he turned through the pages. I'm grateful for the thoughtful way this book was put together.

I just love this book. I never knew it existed until I was looking for "Moja means one" book. I feel a new extension to my childhood has just been added!!

Pristine condition. Great gift idea

My best friend is tutoring two girls from different areas of Africa, but their common language is Swahili. I got her this book to learn a little of the language to show them how much she values their language. When I met them and said, "Jamba!" , they were delighted!!I used it in my sixth grade classrooms, but my littlest grandchildren are charmed.

Purchased this book for a God child. Have purchased this book for nieces, nephews, and little friends for almost forty years. They all loved it. So do I.

Beautiful book - inside and outside. Incredible pictures and presentation of folks from home. The pictures are so real and close - yet they stand uniquely on their own. Much gratitude the Feelings for their work.

A family favorite with simple to read sentences. Teaches about a different culture simply and beautifully.

Our Organization, Young Performing Artists (YPAs), Inc., offers youth enrichment programs featuring history, culture and heritage using 'the arts' to enhance the learning experience. This book will complete our 'story time' hour. We ordered; it was shipped and we're pleased.

I love this book the day I frist saw it when I was a kid. I seen it on reading rainbow for the first time and fell in love with it. Then I final got it as gift I love that I could learn some words in different language so I decided to buy a copy of this book for my neice so when she grows up she will know some Swahili to

Saving this to give my little one on her 4th birthday as looking inside it is a bit complex now but looks great for learning words and a new culture

Its a lovely and sweet book. Highly recommend it...

スワヒリ語をＡ−Ｚのつく語で紹介しながら英語で説明しています。絵もアフリカ人が描いているので本物です。スワヒリ語と英語の説明を声に出すとアフリカのリズムを感じられます。

I se this is by the Feelings as well as Moja Means Hello. Any others? I would prefer it were available in soft covere as I am taking both to Tanzania.I liked that there was more script so I could learn more. Illustrations are lovely in both books.
