The butter Man


The Buter Man By Elizabeth Alalou and Ali Alalou is a very informative children's picture book about a Moroccan family. One of my favorite hobbies is learning about cooking and baking. This book was an excellent book to interest me with me with one of my favorite hobbies, while also educating me about the Moroccan culture. After reading this story I discovered that the village of Tamazirt was mainly a farming town, where people earned money by selling their crops. I have disocvered that Coucous is a traditional North African dish served with an assortment of vegtables and meats. I also leared the term for father, grandfather, and grandmother in Moroccan. I think this book would be a great way to teach students about another culture, while also keeping them captivated by a story that makes you appreciate what you have.
