Image of Living Health Reader Level 4: A Very Special Place

Living Health readers for children focus on important health topics worldwide. Each book contains an exciting story followed by a Fact File of fascinating information and activities, all based on a health theme. This book tells the story of Wambui's grandmother who knows how to use the plants in the forest to heal people. She has also taught Wambui's mother and is now teaching Wambui. There is one special tree whose bark can cure fever. When grandmother herself falls ill, Wambui goes to find the tree. Fact File - Traditional and Western Medicines - compares these two methods of healing, showing how they differ and what they have in common, and how both are important to the health of people throughout the world. The series is carefully graded into four language levels, with controlled language in both the story and the Fact File. The books are highly illustrated in full colour and each has a word list.
