Uncle steve’s country home

(1 customer review)

This is the story of Kaelo who travels from his hometown of Johannesburg in South Africa to visit uncle Steve’s house. The term uncle is used as a form of respect traditionally to an elder close to the family even if they are not blood relatives. Uncle Steve’s house is in the Catskills Mountains, a large area in the southeastern portion of the U.S. in the state of New York. A beautiful “Carnet de voyage” from the perspective of a 10-year-old child as he discovers many new sceneries and animals living in this part of the world and compares them with the wildlife that he knows best back home. Some of the animals are only found in the Us and not in South Africa.

  1. Fabrice Jaumont –

    What an awesome book! I was completely taken in by the beautiful illustrations and endearingly innocent voice of the child narrator. I also appreciated the note at the end of the book about how Kaelo and Uncle Steve had been on a similar journey in real life.
