Look What Came from Africa

Each book in this elementary-level multicultural series explores, in a very simple fashion, the foods, words, inventions, toys, games and sports, religions, music, and crafts that a specific country has contributed to the world.If you think that jazz music, the banjo, and the Charleston are American classics, think again! They came to us all the way from Africa, along with coffee, sesame seeds, and yams, cornrows and kente cloth, exotic masks, and the game of mancala.
