I Lost My Tooth in Africa by Penda Diakite is a fun book that tells the story of a young girl who loses her tooth while visiting family in Mali. Although Mali is not a country where Compassion works, this story gives you a look into the life of many western Africans, regardless of their country. Mali is directly north of Burkina Faso, which is directly north of Ghana and Togo. On one page there is even a picture of a bed with mosquito netting around it. It's a delightful book and both of my girls loved it.
