Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

This is the perfect example of the type of book that belongs in an elementary class library. Learning about a culture that may be their own, their friend's or neighbors, etc. Is so important in the steps of acceptance. What better way than in a fun, bright, and engaging manner that can lead self love or open a mind in a world of hate? Love this book.

Studying History in college and then teaching preschool, this book was SO good! It just was phenomenally done for kids to understand and grasp.

This ebook was made available for me to read and review by Ain Heath Drew, Barefoot Books, and NetGalley.

The illustrator of this picture ebook is Erin K Robinson. The illustrations are bright, crisp, inviting and easily recognizable. The beautiful illustrations are eye catching while really supporting and enhancing the narrative. The illustrations are exciting for younger kids who might not yet completely understand the text.

This ebook is a beautiful way to both reinforce letter sounds and placement while offering a stunning Diasporic history for little kids. This covers the Diaspora as well as highlights countries, deities, languages, clothing, and tribal affiliations from West Africa. This includes multiple nations and customs within North & South America, the Caribbean and West Africa. The representation is meaningful, the history is accurate and the story is told in a positive and engaging manner.

I can not recommend this highly enough to parents of toddlers, babies and early grade school age children. This is a highly educational and highly enjoyable book. I'm looking to order a hardcover copy for my grandkids. This is a treasure.

Thank you to Ain Heath Drew, Barefoot Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ebook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.
