This is my first children's book, I will add this to my collection 😁

What I loved about this book is that, it was informative, educational but at the same time great to read.

This book sounds cute and interesting. It also seems like a great way to teach young kids aspects of another culture by sharing with them a story with some of that culture’s vocabulary and proverbs mixed in. I’ll have to remember it for when I have kids of my own. Thank you for the helpful review.

Thanks for your review. I haven't come across many books of African authors, so a children's book derived from Senegal's history and culture would be interesting to read.

It is great to have books that expose children to other cultures. At an early age, it teaches them to value heritage and tradition, so they live on despite modern times. I hope the author writes more books promoting the conservation and preservation of culture. Thank you for the insightful review.
