This folder is an attempt to reach out to members from all over the world. Suggestions are invited!

(No author promotion, sorry. Even if your book is in a language other than English, it belongs in the promotional folder.)

Ok, I've decided to make threads for regions. I can always fix it later if someone contributes expertise.

Please remember, these are to be children's books that you personally know of. And post the link, and information about the author's language or culture. Just a title doesn't help us, thank you!

I just found in the bottom of a box not unpacked from our last move, a very special book that I bought back when I was studying to be a K-6 teacher. I recommend to all families, and to curious cooks even if they don't have children, The Multicultural Cookbook for Students. Lots countries represented, lots of varieties of good home cooking. Much of it is of course plant-based because traditional. Easy to browse, or to search by country, with a good index if you know the name of the dish or the main ingredient.

I've decided not to haul any further my Joy of Cooking (that I almost never use) but to keep this, if only because the recipe for tzimmes is about 1/3 easier in the youth-friendly book, and looks more appealing than in the weighty foodie classic, too!

Published by Oryx.

Don't forget Goodreads' Listopia feature! For example, there's https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... for Filipino books, some of which look excellent.

Sanchita Sarkar | 7 comments I would suggest reading Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Here is my review on it:

Swift is English, so no.
Thank you so much for the other; it looks like a perfect fit for this regional folder, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... so I'll mention it there.
