@ancestories @EfuaTraore @picklennium @TolaOkogwu @jenneki Hello, would you please follow me so I can DM you, many thanks.

After reading @TolaOkogwu & @EfuaTraore recently, I went on the look out for other kids books set in West Africa. I found these for elementary/primary children. What else could I add, set in West Africa? #WestAfricanKidLit #weneeddiversebooks

@picklennium @TolaOkogwu These are great factual/non-fiction for kids. Would definitely recommend too👍🏾 @jenneki

@EfuaTraore @picklennium @TolaOkogwu @jenneki Thank you!
