In Ethiopia, houses can be made out of all kinds of materials from concrete to thatched walls of grass. But when the strong winds blow, which houses will still stand? Ethiopians like to use “terets” (rhyming sayings) to help teach lessons to their children, and they often have a “call and response” style of composition. Inspired by the proverb “things made fast never last,” this dual-language early reader will help young bilingual readers develop vocabulary while also learning about Ethiopian culture and architecture.
