Students from Japan Join in with the Story Exchange!


A few students from Seisen International School in Tokyo, Japan, sent stories to Kids 4 Kids to share with children in Bamako, Mali during the summer of 2009.  Kids from Atlanta, Bamako, Lilongwe, and Tokyo can learn more about each other through reading original stories!  

Building story connections improve literacy skills as well as build interest about children from across the world.
