Play “I Spy” with a partner while looking at this tapestry. Who can point out more things?

Arinjoy Sen made this tapestry. It tells a story of people living together with nature. People are building houses with bamboo and steel parts. They live near Bangladesh’s Meghna River.

The architect Marina Tabassum designed these houses to survive floods. People can take them apart and rebuild them quickly—in just one week!
