There might no one better suited than Atinuke to write this book since she is known for her children's books about Nigeria and clearly has great enthusiasm for many of these places. After reading this book, readers will realize the fallacy of doing so. So often various countries in Africa are acknowledged only as Africa with no distinction made between the different regions. It's wonderful to have a book for young readers that contains greetings in various languages, describes the industry and natural resources as well as exports, and popular pastimes and foods. Filled with colorful maps and striking mixed media illustrations of more than 50 countries on the African continent, it offers young readers a solid introduction to those places, which are divided here according to countries in Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, and North Africa, and with a reminder that situations are often changing, and the information is current when the book was published. The richest king, the tallest sand dunes and the biggest waterfall on the planet are all here, alongside drummers, cocoa growers, inventors, balancing stones, salt lakes, high-tech cities and nomads who use GPS! This is non-fiction at its most exciting, exhilarating and energetic, illustrated with passion and commitment by a great new talent, Mouni Feddag. This is followed by a page per country, containing a delightful mix of friendly, informative text and colourful illustrations. The book divides Africa into five sections: South, East, West, Central and North, each with its own introduction. Discover the amazing diversity of the African continent in this beautiful book, with words by Atinuke and lively illustrations from Mouni Feddag.Ītinuke’s first non-fiction title is a major publishing event: a celebration of all 55 countries on the African continent! Her beautifully-written text captures Africa’s unique mix of the modern and the traditional, as she explores its geography, its peoples, its animals, its history, its resources and its cultural diversity.
