This book is a very useful educational resource for those interested in transnational and multicultural education. It offers a comprehensive, practical, and complementary pedagogical approach... It provides a unique intercultural perspective on the Black, African, and Diasporic Experience. Dr. Mbare Ngom, Dean and Professor, Morgan State University Young people are motivated and engaged in their learning when books and educational contents reflect their identities. This book, written by an African for African youth, incorporates cultural elements from the continent, celebrates the diversity of African identities, and encourages children to explore and discover the richness of Africa. It is highly recommended for parents, teachers, and anyone interested in promoting the love of reading, thinking, and raising awareness among young Africans about their cultures. Poetic, rhythmic, and sometimes even philosophical, the book is beautifully illustrated and promotes a positive and inspiring vision of African identities and cultures. Agn�s Ndiaye Tounkara, Former Program Officer - French Heritage Language Program Uniquely You is an entertaining and unique ABC book. It is perfect for children who have already mastered letter recognition and are ready for a fun challenge. While younger children can admire the pictures and receive a digestible summary of the text, older children can read the entire text celebrating the unique character of the African child and the African diaspora. John Neubauer, World Language Coordinator, Baltimore City Public Schools What do we expect from a children's book? That it is attractive and speaks to children in an accessible language. This one succeeds by combining letters, shapes, colors, and messages written in simple language, encouraging young learners to become aware of the values to defend-for themselves and for this continent that continues to reinvent itself every day, between tradition and modernity. The enthusiasm emanating from the faces offers a different reading of Africa often presented as a space of desolation. Mariam Drabo Fofana, French Teacher, Baltimore
