Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Paraguay is a landlocked country in the heart of South America. Its history has been marked by war, dictatorship, and poverty. However, it is also unique in its culture and varied landscape. It is one of the only countries in the world to have an indigenous language as one of its official languages. This book explores the country in detail, from its geological landscape to its wildlife, history, lifestyles, and traditions. It offers a complete view of the nation today, encouraging young readers to explore new cultures.
