A nice brief overview of the continent

Fantastic book! I am from West Africa and I was delighted to find a book that could help show my children the diversity and vibrance of the whole continent while highlighting interesting facts about each individual country (because...Africa is not a country!!) This book was perfect. I appreciate that it avoided simply listing dry facts and went way beyond the common approach of focusing on animals or stereotypical images. This colorful book is a lively, well-written, child-friendly homage to a continent where you can find everything you can imagine under the sun. I love how the book organizes the countries by region, too...this worked well for our homeschool geography study. And it exposed our whole family to fascinating, little-known aspects of each country that we could then run off to research more on our own if we wanted...great resource!

We love this book! High quality, vibrant colors, and interesting facts about every country in Africa. This is one of the best books we’ve bought in a long time (and we buy a lot of books!) Great artwork.

Atinuke's books give readers insights into Africa through the daily lives of African children and their families. This new book takes a different approach, providing more of a "social studies" view of the continent at a level that is appropriate for children of primary school age but which can also be valuable for middle school age children. The fact is, parents will also learn much. Some of the challenges Africa has faced are touched on, but the overall tone is upbeat and reflects optimism about future directions. The illustrations by Mouni Feddag are bright, joyous, and quirky. Highly recommended.

This book is an excellent introduction to Africa and all of the countries it possesses.It is a lovely addition to our library.I do wish it had more factoids, I am a sucker for little facts. Even then, this is truly an wonderful book to have and the illustrations are beautiful.

I used this book in conjunction with an Anna Hibiscus novel to teach a unit on Africa to 1st and 3rd grade. This is a wonderful book! It does a fantastic job of introducing the wonder and diversity of Africa. The illustrations are stunning and the information ranges from historical, industrial, ecological, cultural, to geographical. By the completion of the unit my students had a love and respect for Africa.

The book is wonderful, I work with elementary school kids and we absolutely love reading it together. It’s wonderful reading about the highlights of each country in Africa. I realized there’s a lot I don’t know and it felt great that I was learning along with the children.
