Discover the amazing diversity of the African continent in this beautiful book, with words by Atinuke and lively illustrations from Mouni Feddag.
Atinuke's first non-fiction title is a major publishing event: a celebration of all 55 countries on the African continent! Her beautifully-written text captures Africa's unique mix of the modern and the traditional, as she explores its geography, its peoples, its animals, its history, its resources and its cultural diversity. The book divides Africa into five sections: South, East, West, Central and North, each with its own introduction. This is followed by a page per country, containing a delightful mix of friendly, informative text and colourful illustrations. The richest king, the tallest sand dunes and the biggest waterfall on the planet are all here, alongside drummers, cocoa growers, inventors, balancing stones, salt lakes, high-tech cities and nomads who use GPS! This is non-fiction at its most exciting, exhilarating and energetic, illustrated with passion and commitment by a great new talent, Mouni Feddag.

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the
incredible life of Lewis Hamilton, Formula One champion. Little
Lewis's childhood was filled with cars, motorcycles and watching
Formula One with his dad. On his fifth birthday, he received a
remote-controlled racing car and joined a local club. It was hard
being the only black child there, but he listened to his dad's
words: 'Let your results speak for you.' His hobby led him to
go-kart racing, and at the age of 10 he became the youngest ever
winner of the British cadet go-karting competition. Shortly after,
he began training as a racing driving with McLaren, rising through
the ranks to compete at Formula One's Grand Prix. Despite his
amazing successes, from breaking the record for the most triumphs
in Formula One to his knighthood, Lewis has never forgotten where
he came from. Today he is a campaigner for racial justice and
racial diversity in sport, as well as an advocate for positive
mental health as well as environmental issues. This inspiring book
