Read these kids’ books about pen pals, and the cross-cultural discoveries and friendships they make with their pen pals from across the globe.

Writing to a pen-pal in another country can facilitate lifelong friendships- and at a minimum it creates a great learning experience that enhances social studies, geography, penmanship, and language skills.
