Afro-Bets ABC Book
Six active African American children are pictured playing on the alphabet pages of this Afro-centric alphabet book in which some elements are universal (balloon, keys, pencil) but many are culturally specific (Africa, cornrows, Kente cloth, Nefertiti.) The light-hearted spirit is buoyed by cartoon-style illustrations. ©1987 Cooperative Children's Book Center
