Morocco 

Morocco is a small country with a long and fascinating history. From the ancient African peoples who settled the land, the French and Spanish colonizers who came later, and today’s independent Moroccans, those who have called this land home have been building an impressive culture for centuries. Morocco is a land of mountains and deserts, bustling cities, and beautiful buildings and mosques, which are shown to readers in vivid photographs. Readers learn about Morocco’s culture and traditions through an engaging narrative, fact boxes, and sidebars that cover an array of topics, such as government, history, food, and sports.
