Africa Brothers and Sisters

This is an absolutely wonderful story. My 5 year old daughter wants to read it over and over again. It provides a positive father/child image. The illustrations are beautiful. The story talks about various countries in Africa and their particular specialty (i.e. basket weaving/kente cloth, etc.) The story is told in such a way that even young children can easily remember and associate the places and tribes in Africa with their trades. It also has a beautiful picture in the back of the continent of Africa that lends itself well for copying to use in discussions about geography. My 5 year old received this book when she was 3 years old and we still enjoy reading it as do her friends at school.
