Book Review: The Big Buna Bash


The Big Buna Bash

Brandylane Publishers

Pub Date 05 Feb 2020  



I am reviewing a copy of The Big Buna Bash through Brandylane Publshers/ Belle Isle Books and Netgalley:


In this beautifully written and illustrated Picture book, Almaz get's embarrassed by the mistakes she makes in school, and the way that others don't understand her Ethiopian Culture, so she comes up with the idea to have a Big Buna Bash,  in a Buna ceremony the coffee is boiled, poured into another vessel and back into the decorative pot, boiled and poured again, and over and over again.  Three cups are served to each guest, each representing something different.


If you are looking for a book to help your early elementary school age child understand one aspect of the Ethiopian Culture better then I would recommend The Big Buna Bash.


I give this book five our of five stars!

Happy Reading!
