This book could help teach about geography through the wonder pictures. The picture in this book are a good portrayal of rural farm lands.

Geography

Critiques:This book is great for showing how some families struggle. I do wish it were more specific about the setting.

This book can teach about culture through the depiction of a rural area through the pictures. It can also teach about the importances of family and food.
