Booklist - 04/15/2024 The World Passport series (4 new titles) gives a fantastic overview of countries around the globe. Each title immediately sparks interest by placing readers in one of the country’s most scenic venues and presents a map of the country and a chart with quick facts, such as the country’s population, government, official language(s), and natural resources. Topical chapters cover country basics, including history, geography, climate, cultural landmarks, food, daily life, holidays and celebrations, and sports and recreation. Your Passport to Cuba balances the enslavement of Indigenous peoples, Spanish rule, and the country’s poor economy with its lush landscape, vibrant cities, and delicious foods. Complementing the accessible text in each volume are numerous color photos with related captions, fact boxes, a time line of the country’s history, a recipe for a common dish, and directions on how to play a popular outdoor game. A solid choice for students’ country studies. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
