A Superb Book

This book shows the wonderful, warmly human side of the children of Africa south of the Sahara. So often we only hear news of the poverty, AIDS, famine and dissension and don't get to see Africans as people. Everyone should take a look at this book to see what the lives of the children are like, and the natural joy that springs from them as well as their industriousness and love for learning. Keep up the great work, Dr. Fayemi!

Fayemi.s photographs captures his subjects' spirits.

It is true indeed that pictures don't lie, especially when taken by a master photographer like Olusegun Fayemi. This book brings the beauty and hope of Africa into my living room through the mesmerizing faces of the continent's future. . . its children. This should be a required book in every home.
