Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Elsi Abebe's Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a wonderful story which reminded me very fondly and even sadly about my grandmothers, my paternal and maternal grandmas. Fondly because of how much I loved sitting at the bottom of their feet and listening to their stories; which I sucked in and absorbed like a sponge. Sadly because I have so many questions still, to ask them NOW, but they are gone. Children, those lucky enough to still have their grandmas, should love and appreciate them, find time to spend with them and ask them lots of questions, your family's history and culture, and I promise you, out of 'Grandma's big suitcase', lots of wisdom that you will remember years later when YOU too are grandmas. I recommend this wonderful book strongly." Her Excellency Ambassador Konji Sebati (former South African Ambassador to Switzerland and France.) "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a heart warming children’s story book that you can read to your kids. Elsi has figured out a way to educate children and adult alike about the rich history of Ethiopia through the eyes of a precocious young Ethiopian American girl. In this easy to read account of the universal bond between grandparents and grandchildren, Elsi has managed to weave together a tale of love, pride and history that is flavored in humor. I for one look forward to reading about 'Konjo’s' time with grandma during their summer break!" Dr.Ebba K. Ebba Pediatrician “ Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a very well written story that introduces children to the land that their parents came from or to the country that they were born. As every item in the suitcase connects the children with their own history and culture, the tale also shows the love and affection that connects grandparents to their grandchildren. Even though this is Elsi Abebe's first children's book, it reads as if she has done it many more times as the stories she told her own two children." Elias Wondimu Publisher/Social Activist "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase, is a beautiful story which makes kids born from Ethiopian parents to be proud of being of Ethiopian descent. It tells why Ethiopian and Ethiopian-American children should love and appreciate Ethiopia, her history and culture. Indeed out of the big suitcase of grandma come out nice things which excite children in general. Elsi Abebe , being a mother herself, knows things which enchant kids. She describes them in a simple and understandable language. This book will be educational and entertaining to many children. I commend it strongly." Fikre Tolossa, Ph. D. Poet-playwright “ When I was a child living in Ethiopia and visiting in the United States, I found that American teachers and students--and my own relatives and new friends--knew almost nothing about the beautiful country where I'd lived since I was two years old. How sad! I want everyone to read and share 'Grandma's Humongous Suitcase' so that people on many continents will understand more about the culture and traditions of Ethiopia.” Jane Kurtz is an award-winning children's book author of thirty books, including Fire on the Mountain, Faraway Home, Saba: Under the Hyena's Foot, and Trouble "I really enjoyed reading 'Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase' by Elsi Abebe. I read many stories to children at the Stanley British Primary School. They will love this story. It depicts how important it is for children who are brought up in a different country from their parents to understand their own family culture and be proud of their heritage. My husband and I brought our four children to U.S.A. from England, when they were small. Grandma's rare visit was vitally important." Carolyn Hambidge Founder of Stanley British Primary School
Download or read book Meskel written by Mellina Fanouris and published by Tsehai Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1981, a four-seater aircraft mounted into a scorched sky from an African desert track carrying two brothers to freedom. So ended the fifty-five year saga of the Fanouris family in Ethiopia. As Lukas Fanouris looked down and saw patches of gold in the receding landscape, he realized that the Meskel flower was in bloom everywhere. He wept, for the carpet of Meskel around Addis Ababa had been the first sight to meet his father's eyes when he had arrived in 1926 from his Greek island with his wife and infant son to seek his fortune among the descendants of Solomon and Sheba.Manoli Fanouris began his new life by opening a restaurant but soon realized that Ethiopia's hungers did not stem from the stomach but the mind. Soon he began selling newspapers, gradually adding magazines and books and thereby laid the foundations for what was to become one of the largest book and press agency in Ethiopia. Because of Emperor Haile Selasie's efforts to modernize his country and eradicate illiteray, close bonds had developed between the Fanouris enterprise and the Palace. Nevertheless, the rising expectations generated by modernization outstripped the will and power of the Emperor. In 1974 creeping dissension was whipped into military revolution by a hushed famine, deposing the old and frail ruler. While the new dictatorship proclaimed that the Emperor was under house arrest at the Menelik Palace, members of his family and his ministers were thrown into the cells of common criminals. deprived of the bare necessities of life. Sixty princes, ministers and high government officials were executed en masseand flung into an unmarked trench. The wives and mothers of men detained and tortured without charges were imprisoned, others forced to sell what little remained to them to pay for the bullets that had killed their loved ones."Meskel" is the true and poignant saga of a Greek family who lived to witness and record the devastating destruction of a beautiful country which was turned into a living hell by the tyrant, Mengistu Haile Mariam.

Download or read book Andromeda Princess of Ethiopia written by Ellenore Angelidis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of humanity, Ethiopia was the origin of some of the most remarkable and important people in history. The bones of one of the first hominids, Lucy, were found in Ethiopia, and stories of legendary Ethiopians stretch back into ancient history. Some of these legends were so famous that they were recorded in ancient Greek Mythology. One of these is the story of the daughter of ancient Ethiopian King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia: Princess Andromeda. Andromeda's beauty was so renowned that it ignited the jealousy of Poseidon, who sent a great sea monster to devour her. But her plight inspired the Greek hero Perseus to intervene in her rescue, and then to marry her. Their story of love and hardship was immortalized as constellations which are still visible in Ethiopian night skies. Filled with gorgeous illustrations by Ethiopian artist Daniel Getahun and printed in English as well as Ethiopian languages including Amharic, Tigrinya and Afaan Oromo. Side-by-side translations support developing readers in building vocabulary and fluency. Ready Set Go Books, an Open Hearts Big Dreams Project, is focused on increasing the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details.

Ethiopia's population is 44% children, ages 0-14 (43 million out of 97 million total). Only 5.5% of children attend pre-school or kindergarten, and the adult literacy rate is 49%. Our books are based on wise Ethiopian sayings that often rhyme in Amharic. If an adult says the first half, many children can chant the second half. Sometimes the meaning of these sayings is clear. Sometimes it has to be puzzled out and argued over. But sayings and idioms and proverbs help people express truths and beliefs in unusual ways.
