A is for Africa

A is for Africa by Ifeoma Onyefulu 1993

The beautiful photographs from Onyefulu represent the goings-on in a small African village, and are alphabetical by subject. Some letters introduce everyday tasks that we are familiar with;
"Ee is for the embrace we give our loved ones.
Gg is for Grandmother, telling wonderful stories."
Other customs are less familiar;
"Ff is for the Feather's a chief wears on his hat.
Hh is for mud Houses, just right for a hot climate."

Your child will learn about new customs and culture from these special families as they portray everyday life in their village.

Appropriate for ages 4-8

Thanks for visiting my site. I had to come take a peek at yours and already I see several wonderful books to read to my children. I love getting new recommendations. Thanks so much for sharing.
