I very much enjoyed your book and you have a very talented friend in Janice. I never had a chance to visit the African continent and because of Janice’s wonderful illustrations and your easy but informative text, I could almost feel the heat of Africa coming thr[ough] those pages.

I love it! I read it this morning twice [after] waking up and your book brought me the most joy. I love the vibrant colors and the way you describe the animals, and the adjectives you use. Very informative and great for little minds learning new words.

I love it! Brought back memories of the books I used to read in elementary school and I felt like a little kid again. I love the beautiful images and illustrations, it makes it so entertaining and easy to relate to. The storyline is educational and the kids will definitely be more enlightened about their homeland after reading it.

While there are numerous English children’s books, there are far fewer ones in Swahili.
