Wonderful book. The pictures are beautiful and they have context and background information. You really get a feel of the country and you can tell the authors are knowledgeable and love Ethiopia.
What a beautifully photographed book! Our daughter is from Ethiopia, and I was so thrilled to find several pages in the book on her region and the ethnic group she originated from. I was very impressed by how many different groups of Ethiopian people are represented in the photos. Very nicely written - I know we as a family will come back to this book again and again!
