A very educational yet interesting and engaging book of stories, a must for all curious children!
I loved this book. It was extremely interesting as i knew very little about african folklore, culture or the empires outside the very little well known facts about egyptians. i loved the fact it was interactive for the kids reading to be more involved with the book and i also loved the african language that was used and the positive encouraging messages it gave to kids.
Great easy read about some of the men and women who were instrumental in shaping Nubia, and the surrounding countries. I loved the pictures that were included and also the stories about each of the figures that are represented. Kids will eat this up and enjoy the pictures that can be copied and colored.
I am looking forward to sitting down and reading this with my boys!
Thanks for Netgalley and respecitgve publisher for sending me the copy.
It's highly recommended book for children and even for teenagers to know about heroic Kings and Queens of Africa.
About their qualities and their stuffs.
Inspirational and motivational, Simple and sober.
I've enjoyed it.
A nonfiction historical book of African Kings and Queens. Each ruler is discussed in terms of their morals, attitudes, and principles. Reading it made me more curious about the different rulers of the empires. It is an excellent book. I enjoyed the introduction to these rulers that I didn’t really know. It’s informative but leaves one wanting to know more. I only wish I had someone knowledgeable to discuss the facts stated in this book. It’s a great read!
NuBiAh is a delightful and educational children's book on various prominent leaders throughout Africa's history. From learning about Queen Yaa Asantewa to King Hannibal to even Witch Doctors and Griots, kids from elementary and middle school can learn something valuable from this book. Some pages have pictures of the Queens and Kings and of animal with sentences and could be used to allow kids a time for coloring as you ask them questions about the content. One chapter, dedicated to a Wicked Witch Doctor provides a parable for parents to teach to their kids about drugs and modern transmissible diseases. This parable can be a great way for parents who have not or do not know how to start conversations about these important topics.
Overall, I do highly recommend this book to parents who want to introduce a few historical facts to their children.
