Cambodia

A 2019 children's nonfiction country profile of Cambodia by Alicia Z. Klepeis, a working author of educational nonfiction for young readers covering geography, wildlife, and world cultures across multiple series. This title follows the standard country-profile format aimed at school-age readers, introducing Cambodia's location in Southeast Asia, its people, and core facts about its history and daily life, including its Buddhist-majority culture and its Angkorian heritage centered on Angkor Wat. As with most titles in this genre, the book is built to give young readers a first, accessible point of contact with Cambodia rather than deep historical analysis, typically pairing short chapters with photographs and infographics to hold the interest of school-age audiences doing country-report research. Its presence in library catalogs alongside other Klepeis country titles reflects the ongoing demand for updated, age-appropriate nonfiction material on Southeast Asian nations for classroom and library use.
