Belgium - Library Binding

by Rachael Morlock (Author)

Belgium may be one of the smallest countries in Europe, but it's brimming with culture, history, and art. Home to over 11.5 million people, it's densely populated with a mix of Dutch-speaking Flemings, French-speaking Walloons, and a small German-speaking community. These and other groups have contributed to the rich heritage and traditions that shape Belgian identity today. With simple text and focused chapters, this guide introduces young readers to the central features of Belgium's geography, history, government, and people. Fact boxes, detailed sidebars, and engaging photographs bring life in Belgium into vivid focus.
