The Best Beekeeper of Lalibela: A Tale from Africa by Cristina Kessler
This is a story of a young girl who is determined to become the best beekeeper in the land, despite the fact that it is considered "men's work."  She proves, by her perseverance and hard work, that women can do what men do and sometimes, as in this case, can do it even better!

Fire on the Mountain, Only a Pigeon, and other books by Jane Kurtz - Kurtz grew up in Ethiopia
A beautiful story of a hardworking and determined young boy who is given a challenge by the king and wins, only to find that the king will not recognize his victory.  The boy and his sister cleverly come up with a situation that exposes the king's selfishness and wrong-doing, righting the boy's standing in the eyes of the entire village.

When the World Began: Stories Collected in Ethiopia by Elizabeth Laird
Admittedly I have not read this book, and it appears to be out of print.  It looks like a collection of stories worth owning though, especially if you have a connection to Ethiopia.
