Eritrea:

Trouble by Jane Kurtz
This is the story of a young boy who just can't help but get into a little trouble.  Off he goes one day with his goats and a gabeta (mancala) board, given to him by his father to keep him out of trouble.  But trouble finds him, and now Tekkla is found in a trading adventure throughout the village that ultimately lands him back where he started!  This is a charming story that Kurtz first heard during her time in Ethiopia, which she has delightfully retold and set in neighboring Eritrea.

The Mangrove Tree: Planting Trees to Feed Families by Susan L. Roth
Based on the true story of Dr. Gordon Sato, a scientist who taught the people in the village of Hargigo to plant mangrove trees, which changed their lives forever.  With alternating rhyming and prose, the author/illustrator captures the heart of a people and of the power of how one person really can make a difference.
