This beautifully produced atlas of Africa is a fantastic book for any home library or classroom," says Book Trust, the UK's largest reading charity. This book is British-Nigerian storyteller Atinuke's personal love letter to the African continent and its 55 countries in all their variety. It divides Africa into five sections: South, East, West, Central, and North, each with its own introduction. This is followed by a page per country, containing a delightful mix of friendly, informative text and colorful illustrations.
With just a couple of facts per page, the book is perfectly geared toward readers aged six and up, and imagined as a diving-off point to inspire children to find out more about each and every country. So, welcome to Africa, Amazing Africa: 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!
