Zimbabwe - A land of diamonds, platinum and gold

Whether a child wants to know more about their cultural roots and ethnic origins, or they are simply curious about discovering a country rich with natural resources and rugged beauty, this African children's book collection is here to help!

The book begins with a Factfile which includes interesting information about Zimbabwe such as the size of the country and population; capital city and religions. The reader will meet the characters Tendai, Ranga and Marvelous who will introduce them to their families as well as their native languages Shona and Ndebele.

They will then explore the magnificent landscapes from the vast savannahs to the luscious forests; including the fascinating animals that live within. They go on to share with the reader; the food that they enjoy from Sadza to Dovi to candy cake as well as sharing their version of special occasions such as Christmas Day.

The reader will also learn fun traditions such as how people cure hiccups to what they do when their tooth falls out.

The reader will be left inspired by characters including the much loved Black Panther actress Danai Gurira.

Anna Makanda was born in Gweru, Zimbabwe, and raised in London, along with her older sister. Her father is Zimbabwean and her mother, Scottish. Growing up, Anna always dreamed of owning her own business. She started her career as an accountant but soon realised it was time to pursue her dreams. That was when she set up her own fitness brand. In her spare time, you will find her spending time with family and friends, chasing after her two very energetic children or writing a book or two! Sharmane Barrettwas born and raised in London, along with her five sisters. Her father is Jamaican and her mother, Trinidadian-English. Growing up, Sharmane was encouraged to pursue a career as a lawyer but after completing her legal studies, she soon realised that law was not for her. She began working in legal recruitment, which gave her an opportunity to live in Singapore for almost four years. Sharmane's passions are travelling and boxing; although these days there is a lot less travelling to exotic destinations, and a lot more time in the gym.
