Child-to-Child Reader: Five Friends of The Sun***

The Child-to-Child Primary Health Readers have been developed to teach and encourage primary school children in Africa to become concerned with the health and general development of their pre-school brothers and sisters and other children in the community. This book tells the story Tulio, a farmer, who died stepping on a landmine, and of how five friends of the Sun helped Tulio’s children learn how to survive in a land where mines lie buried, how messages are spread about the dangers of mines, and the shared responsiblity of those who use them. It emphasises the power of children to safeguard others, raise mine awareness and lead the world towards a future free from the fear of landmines.
