Baasansuren, Bolormaa (2009). My Little Round House. (Gr. K-2)
Baby Jilu is born into a a Mongolian family that travels from pasture to pasture as the seasons change. From his family's round tent to the circular pattern of the seasons, Jilu sees the shape of his world and the love of his family all around him. The end of the story marks his first birthday, when Jilu's family returns to the summer pastures.
The illustrations show Mongolian life and are best shared in a small group so that everyone can see. A great way to learn about a new culture!
