Painted Houses, Bright Beads with ArtBeast

The library's website description sums things up perfectly:  "Children will enjoy Maya Angelou’s My Painted House, My Friendly Chicken, and Me which teaches children about life in a South African village. The young narrator shares photographs of her home and village, as well as featuring the beading and brightly painted homes of her homeland. After the story, children will decorate their own wooden houses and string beads into jewelry."
