African Beginnings
The debut title in the acclaimed From African Beginnings series explores the complex and fascinating history of Africa's most ancient--and advanced--civilizations. Lush illustrations by Coretta Scott King Honor artist Floyd Cooper evoke the richly layered heritage of the African continent and its people and how they made a powerful impact on world history. Look for the companion books, "Bound for America" and "Building a new Land," in your local library.
