Purchase options and add-ons

Black History is World History. This book is intended for kids to enjoy. It is my intentions for parents and teachers to read along with kids and explain any difficulties they may run across. This book will not only raise awareness but it will also raise self-esteem. Something that is important for early child development. In order to achieve a high status or an important figure in life, you must first believe it is possible. Too many kids are dropping out of school, being incarcerated, becoming addicted to illegal substances or just giving up on life. Many have been disenfranchised. One of the Great Kings in this book is Mansa Musa (Emperor of Mali). Mansa Musa is known as the richest man of all time. In today's standards, he would be worth 400 billion dollars. He built some of the most prestigious colleges in the world at the time he was Emperor. Can you imagine the impact on a child's mind if he were told a black man, or better put, an African man was the richest man of all time. This information could have an extraordinary impact on the success of a child's future. I think this book should be part of the curriculum.

My daughter is in the 8th grade and we have been homeschooling since she was in 7th grade. We decided to teach her topics that they don't teach at public school like life skills and our real black history. The book is thinner than I expected but it has all the information we need.

I ordered this book for my oldest son (10 yrs). I appreciate the diversity of African leaders discussed in the book. But I also wanted more information on the leaders studied. Great beginners book for children and starting point for adults.

I think that is a great books for kids maybe 10-12 and up. I ordered this book for a 7 year old boy. I was more so expecting he book to be about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Or Sojourner Truth, or another Black Leader that majority are familiar with. Again, I think it is a great book for learning about those before 20th cenfury, very informative. Not what I expected though.

We bought this book for our 9 year old son. He is not an avid reader, but he really enjoyed reading this book and I enjoyed listening to him read it out loud. We even googled the author to see if he wrote any other books. We'll be waiting for his next book.

I purchase this book for my 8 year old grandson, and he was reading it without my knowledge. I thought I had lost it. He said he loves this book. So I find myself buy more books for him like or similar to this one

This book is a god send for black and Afrikan children in the diaspora. Teaching our children their history and the great achievements of our ancestors--that they can also live up to is paramount. This book will show your children that our history did NOT begin with being stolen and enslaved. This is an excellent divergence from the public school narrative of black defeatism. Love it!

I loved the facts in here.
Both myself and son read in awe!
Only because we don't read such information anywhere else.
Quite refreshing actually and without being too overwhelming for such young age groups.
We want volume 2!!!
