One thing that I loved about book was the way it's laid out. You can tweak it to fit your own schedule of course but I liked the suggestions of covering each country in 2-4 weeks. At his rate the material will last you 16 weeks. Another great feature was the book list. Lots of the books listed can be downloaded for free! IF you want to add more to the unit you can visit the authors website for bonus content and download even more activities.
After reading each story segment there are activity pages that enhance to learning. Another great feature was the book list. Lots of the books listed can be downloaded for free!
The story that moved our family the most was the one called "Jesmin's Journey." This bought to light the fact that may kids not not live in a safe area and may not have enough food to eat. My kids really wanted to know how they could help out so we are looking into sponsoring a child through Gospel for Asia, Compassion International or World Vision, Inc.
