I Hide: Playing Hide and Seek in Ethiopia in Tigrinya and English

Join a curious child as they play a game of discovery and concealment in the towns and fields of Ethiopia.

As she observes her surroundings from her hiding spots, she notices many interesting and beautiful things around her.

The people and animals who fill the streets and landscape with color and mystery come to life through banana plant collages made by the Ethiopian women of Jimma Banana Art.

Most of the illustrations were created from different parts of the banana plant that have been dried, ironed and cut into shapes.

Side by side text in Tigrinya and English supports bilingual young readers.
