Kids in Portugal

Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about world cultures or when preparing for a first big international trip. It is particularly effective for children who feel a bit nervous about visiting a place where people speak a different language or eat different foods. The book introduces readers to the daily lives of Portuguese children, highlighting everything from school routines to traditional festivals. It focuses on themes of global citizenship, belonging, and the joy of discovery. Appropriate for children ages 6 to 10, this narrative non-fiction helps demystify the 'other.' By showing that children in Portugal share similar hobbies and family values while enjoying unique traditions like Fado music or azulejo tile painting, it builds a bridge of empathy. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's heritage while encouraging an adventurous, open-minded spirit toward new experiences.
