Women in African History and another book about Wangari Matthai!
I ordered Wangari Matthai, The Women Who Planted a Million Trees yesterday and can’t wait to see how it compares to the other four books about Matthai. Ellen, the bookseller, told me that Matthai is included in the UNESCO Women in Africa series. Please let me know if you have used this website!http://en.unesco.org/womeninafrica/

The Chickens Build A Wall
I have not shared this book yet with students, but I think it would be another great book to introduce the concept of walls.
Let me know what you think.
Tillie and the Wall
This is a great book to introduce the concept of walls. Leo Lionni wrote it right before the Berlin Wall came down in 1989.
