Now I am an internationally-published children's author commended by the Library of Congress for my work encouraging children to read. Amer met Jinan again in 2000 - a chance encounter in a cafe. Within six months they were married. One of Jinan's relatives tried to discourage her, telling her Amer was "anti-Lebanese" and would not understand "Lebanese ways". In a break with local tradition, only friends were invited to the informal wedding; the sole older family member to attend was Amer's then 78-year-old father.

Attitudes to family and marriage are also changing, in line with western European trends. The number of marriages has now fallen to 43,000 a year - half the number in 1948-1949 - and more marriages are now ended each year than new ones begun. The lives of many have became harder, with workplaces closing down and increasingly exploitative working conditions. The gap between rich and poor is growing and some families are losing the struggle to keep their heads above water. The parks and subways of Budapest are full of the homeless and begging mothers and children, while the upper-middle classes luxuriate in their new-found wealth, resurrecting old traditions like the Opera Ball. Ica is currently out of work; Lajos works as a postman. The family still comes together at Christmas, Easter, birthdays and name days. Lajos also often visits his sons, who have their own families, and they come to visit them. The weekends are usually busy either with guests or with visits to other members of the family.Meanwhile, 100 million adults have left their villages in search of work, leaving children with grandparents. So while the single children of the urban rich are extremely pampered, the offspring of peasants grow up seeing their parents for only a week or two every year.

Welcome to our World - A celebration of children everywhere!

Welcome to Our World introduces very young learners to traditional children’s songs from around the world, teaching them English through music, rhythm, and motion. As the most successful of six siblings, Boniface is also expected to help out the families of his brothers and sisters - and those on his wife's side. Pauline, who used to work as a dressmaker and now stays at home to look after the kids, waits up for Boniface each night to heat his dinner. On the weekend, often the only time Boniface sees Joyce and Sharon, he likes to take the family to a restaurant near Nairobi city centre. Each song is performed and taught by a video host, as well as sung by very young learners in real classrooms for international exposure, and supports the language and concepts introduced in the Student Books. Lebanon is beautiful. Its landscape is dominated by the mountains that run parallel to the Mediterranean, separated from it by a narrow coastal strip in which most of the population lives.

At their happiest when: They have a bit of spare money: Boniface takes them to see the wild animals at Nairobi national park, or to visit their relatives in the villages on the road to Mount Kenya.
