The Fig Tree by Genet Araya - Now Available on SilverChicks


Ethiopia Reads is excited to announce that The Fig Tree by Genet Araya, a positive story for all children - but particularly wonderful for girls - is now available for purchase on SilverChicks.com.

The Fig Tree is the third bilingual English/Amharic children's book that has been published by EthiopiaReads.org. The English and the Amharic translations were written by Genet Araya, an Ethiopian-born author now teaching at the United Nations International School in New York City.

The Fig Tree was illustrated by Senayt Worku, an Ethiopian artist residing in Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia Reads would like to thank Genet Araya for her generous donation of this book title. In addition to her time writing the original story, Genet spent many hours diligently working through the editing process. We could never quantify the value of this time, but are so thankful.

This book was published in Addis Ababa for the purpose of fundraising for EthiopiaReads. All proceeds from the purchase of The Fig Tree go to EthiopiaReads.org and its current and future projects.
