“Reading is one of the most fundamental things that we can teach our children. It should be encouraged and required in the home every day. Through reading, a whole new world is opened up to our children because every aspect of life is contained in print” - {Awaken The Mind}

These 4 new gems of literature by will serve as great additions to the kids’ l home library. These stories highlight the accomplishments of a few notable historical figures which include Queen Nzinga of Angola, Queen Idia of the Benin empire, Sunjata of the Mali empire, and of course the first documented physician, architect & multi genius of antiquity… Imhotep !!

Documented stories of this nature are critical in the growth, development, and overall positive self-image of growing children, for as Drusilla D. Houston once declared…

“How can the leaders of the future point forward that is utterly ignorant of the past?”
