I have shared this book with many children. They throughly enjoyed the illustrations and found the story to be extremely motivating. Also, I appreciate having a story about a Black child that starts in Africa, as opposed to beginning with American slavery.Lovely story, particularly for young girls, that leaves the reader feeling a "can do" attitude.
