Customer Reviews

This is a GREAT book!:)

I recently read this book at the local library, because my husband and I are adopting an infant from Guatemala. I wasn't disappointed by this book at all!! The author travels to Guatemala and it's different regions. He briefly talks about some of the different parts of the country and the people who live there. I really learned a lot, this being my first book I've read regarding Guatemala. The pictures are FANTASTIC!!! They are wonderful and truly show the realism of the people and their country. Although this is a children's book, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read more about this fascinating country. I plan to purchase (if I can ever find it) this book for my daughter!:)

Guatemala's children are beautiful!

The world's children collection is great and my most favorite is The children of guatemala. This book made me feel much better when i first saw it.I was sick.The colorful texilites in the mayan village of Todos los Santos britten up the world.I think.I plan to visit Guatemala real soon,and see the children for myself.
