A is for Africa

This book is great! My family loves it! It's also a very good read for kids.

Regardless of age, economic background, or race this book has been a HUGE hit with any child I have read it to or given it to as a present.

This is a well-written book for children age 4 to 8. Wonderful, warm photos give a gentle introduction to the people, the clothing, and objects used in daily life in some African countries. Authentic. This book will endure and deserves another printing.

This children's book offers an inviting glimpse into West African traditions. From "A is for Africa" to "I is for Indigo", the author Ifeoma Onyefulu uses important aspects of West African life to represent each letter of the alphabet. The book is appropriate for kids of all ages. My daughter is one year old, so I simplify the book by reading just the first sentence of each page, such as "V is for village". The text continues to describe that "V is for the village, where many people live together, sharing the same traditions and beliefs. The old people in the village teach the young ones the old customs, as they were once taught themselves." The photographs in this book are not only beautiful, but very representative of West Africa. Every child interested in Africa should have this book! I am looking forward to reading Ifeoma Onyefulu's other children's books.
