[Harrison · Rating 5 out of 5]

A brilliant book to read to my 5-year-old with beautiful illustrations and well presented. A good background of African hairstyle with history to read to your kids and you as an adult to learn from as well. Another good part of this book includes 2 pages dedicated to concised information about what you need to know about Africa and its history. eg 'Africa is not a country', the ancient name of Africa, 'The name Africa came into use through the Romans' etc.
