It might also be good in places where there are many Somali refugees, for their classmates to get a better idea of what the Somali children left behind.<br /><br />And I must also say congrats on your win!Beth Stilbornhttp://www.bethstilborn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171785485297377088.post-44605170885032943042014-04-04T16:44:29.889-07:002014-04-04T16:44:29.889-07:00This book looks wonderful, Wendy!

I hope I don't do that again and can remember some of what I wrote. First congrats on your win. It was quite an accomplishment. Next -- I rode on a camel twice at our county 4H fair two years in a row. And then third -- this book reminds me of the Lost Boys. Weren't they from war torn Somalia?<br /><br />That book and this sounds to me like I need to treat myself to reading them real soon. :) <br />clarbojahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554871750348852894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171785485297377088.post-38645799975786523252014-04-04T13:46:04.764-07:002014-04-04T13:46:04.764-07:00I have written a picture book about a little nomad...I have written a picture book about a little nomad and his camel, but it is a Bactrian Camel.

I can't remember the name, but it was a pretty popular 'book club' book at the time - anyway, she made the camels sound AWFUL. This book sounds much more enjoyable. :-)Carrie Finisonhttp://storypatch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171785485297377088.post-35823936970575027592014-04-04T06:21:25.878-07:002014-04-04T06:21:25.878-07:00I've been to the San Diego Zoo a couple of tim...I've been to the San Diego Zoo a couple of times, but never got to feed the camels.
