What better guides to help students learn about the world than teens of the world? This unique series explores 12 countries, including the Navajo Nation, through the perspectives of expert authors and real-life teens. The author provides background on the country’s history, culture, customs, politics, and economy, while the teen shares insights on life as a young person there, including their thoughts on the future of their nations. Each title features a foreword by Professor Kum-Kum Bhavnani, a sociologist and award-winning filmmaker, who emphasizes the importance of understanding global cultures, especially for young people. The series includes color photos and back matter with an index and further reading lists. Key Icons throughout the books encourage readers to build knowledge and expand their viewpoints. These include "Words to Understand" at the beginning of each chapter, set in bold color for easy reference, enhancing vocabulary and reading comprehension. Sidebars provide additional information, while Text-Dependent Questions at the end challenge readers' understanding and encourage them to revisit the text. Research Projects suggest deeper analysis, and educational videos accessed via QR codes offer supplementary content. A glossary of key terms is included in the back matter to enhance understanding of terminology used throughout the series.
