Africa, Amazing Africa: Country by Country

A first, personal introduction to the Africa continent for young children aged 4+ from Nigerian storyteller Atinuke.

Africa, Amazing Africa is Atinuke's first introduction to the African continent – an exciting starting point for young children aged 4+. With double-pages to introduce the different regions of Africa (South, East, West, Central and North), each country is then represented on one page with a colourful half-page illustration from artist Mouni Feddag, a paragraph of descriptive text and then one to three facts, geared towards readers aged four and up; imagined as a diving-off point, to give a sense of the variety of the continent and inspire young readers to find out more about the different countries of Africa.
