Sri Lanka is an island country located south of India. Long ago, a land bridge connected the two countries! Today, Sri Lanka is home to several different cultures, a fact that led to a civil war. Readers of this beneficial book, a welcome addition to any social studies collection, will learn about Sri Lanka's past and its present, as a multiethnic nation with much to boast about, including a growing economy, vibrant festivals, delicious food, and stunning natural resources. Complementing the well-researched and accessible text are colorful photographs, interesting sidebars, and fun fact boxes.
