Martilla  a young Roman slave girl  and Marbord  the son of a merchant from Scandia  strike an unlikely friendship. As they learn about each others customs  lifestyles  and lands they discover that calling someone a \"barbarian\" is strictly a matter of ignorance. This timely lesson in tolerance--set centuries ago in Europe--shows children how people of different cultures can overcome stereotypes to become friends. The books quaint illustrations show children the daily life of early Europeans  and a section on the history of Roman and Scandian slavery offers age-appropriate insights on the subject. Also included is a glossary of Germanic and Roman terms and proper names.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44951897866293,"sku":"ByrdShop_0892365595","price":90.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780892365593.jpg?v=1770430500","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/why-are-you-calling-me-barbarian","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
