“This series offers solid glimpses of faraway places, more poetry than a tour guide . . . evocative and inviting” – School Library Journal

Mbote! Betuabu! Jambo! Let’s explore DR Congo! Count the fish at the market, watch the cheeky bonobos, and finish the day with a story. Even learn words in Lingala, Tshiluba, and Swahili with pronunciation guides throughout the story.

• Part of the Barefoot Books Our World series
• Written by Congolese author Mel Nyoko and illustrated by Joelle Avelino
