This book is here to help provide teachers / caregivers / parents with the right tool to lay the foundation of a child’s learning about different countries. 

WRITTEN BY BLACK WOMEN -  Debut authors Anna and Sharmane are both of mixed heritage; keen to create books for young readers about contemporary native characters, filling a gap in the market for diverse, non-fiction children’s books.

FOSTERS CULTURAL CURIOSITY - The key to an open-minded adult is a curious child whose thirst for knowledge is met and encouraged using the right resources. 

UNIQUE EDUCATION RESOURCE - A workbook and teachers guide has been designed to be used alongside the book; which will assist educators in discussing key themes, general learning and takeaways both in and out of the classroom. 

FULL OF FUN FACTS - Keeps kids engaged with a multitude of fun facts; taking into consideration subtle cultural nuances.

DEEPLY PERSONAL - The authors were inspired to write this book for the children in their lives. “We wrote this book because this is what we needed when we were little”.
