"This is a bold, important and joyful book! It will make any girl's heart swell with pride. I would have treasured it as a little girl" – Atinuke, award-winning author of Africa, Amazing Africa
Very interesting (and necessary!) children‘s non-fiction. This book offers a new perspective on African history through the millennia. It broke the facts down well enough for kids to understand, but also didn’t shy away from naming the hard facts. * NetGalley Reviewer *
