Elizabeti’s Doll, Mama Elizabeti, and Elizabeti's School by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen
These are some of our family's favorite books! Elizabeti is a sweet young girl from Tanzania whom we get to journey with in different times of her childhood, from making her first doll out of a rock, caring for her younger brother, and going off to school. And as a side note, Elizabeti's School pairs beautifully with We All Went on Safari (pictured above)!
