In this powerfully written and beautifully illustrated picture book
by award-winning author and illustrator team Carole Boston
Weatherford and E. B. Lewis, Mother Africa addresses her offspring

timeless bond. Written in the voice of Mother Africa, who speaks to
her children-human beings-this stunning picture book thrums with
the love between mother and child as it celebrates humanity's
common roots. Before words or tools or fire, Mother Africa's caves
sheltered us and her forests fed us. She could not protect us from
all dangers, but, like mothers everywhere, she gave her children
all she could and sent us into the world with confidence and love.
Told in the ringing, singing language of a creation story, this
book is a love letter from mother to child that honors our shared
history. Includes back matter with nonfiction information about
human evolution and about the migration of Homo sapiens from Africa
