    About If You Were Me and Lived in … Peru

    You’ll never guess what crazy dish the ancient Incan kings ate. But you can read all about it, and more, in If You Were Me and Lived in…Peru, the latest book in Carole P. Roman’s fun travel series for kids.

    An exciting introduction to world cultures written for young readers ages three through eight, this new expedition takes kids to South America and gives them a colorful glimpse into what living in Peru is like. Highlighting a myriad of topics, including language, cuisine, climate, and history, this book teaches kids about diversity while also revealing to them the important truth that we are all connected.

    Parents, grandparents, and teachers alike will love opening their children’s eyes to the world around them in a fun and easy way—and they’ll be happily surprised when they end up learning a few things themselves. Fair warning, parents: your kids will want to start celebrating a new February holiday after reading this book. But don’t worry. You can always tell them you’re making a certain special, royal Incan dish for dinner.

    Praise

    “It’s a great choice for either a home or classroom environment where it can be used as a fun interactive read for early grade school aged children.“—The Children’s Book Review

      Denmark has Tivoli Gardens and The Little Mermaid; Holland has windmills, the Zeider Zee Dam, wooden clogs and Delft china; Switzerland has watches, chalets, and colorful embroidery on clothes; Italy has the canals and gondolas in Venice, gelato and leathergoods.
