Samenvatting
In the book Balla, the Griot, tells two stories from Africa that are hundreds and hundreds of years old in a modern and at the same time magical way. Stories about love, friendship, cleverness and leadership. Balla and the Forest of Legends is written for all children who love beautiful stories, and especially for children who have a special connection with Africa. What makes it unique are the beautiful drawings, and the combination of comics, an overarching storyline and background information. While the legends are discussed in the overarching storyline, in WikiTopia you will find background information that will make them come even more alive. That is why this book is perfect for anyone who wants to read more about Africa; maybe because you have vacationed there, or you are curious about places that you are yet to discover. Or, perhaps because you want to know more about your culture or that of your (grand) parents or friends. Books like this are rare. When books about Africa appear, they are usually about poverty, aid and conflict, and almost never about wealth, civilization and power. Moreover, they are certainly never about what Western countries can learn from Africa. Buy one, share one Campaign This unique book costs € 22,95. For that price the buyer not only receives a copy himself, but GreenDreamWorks also sends a free English-language copy to a less fortunate child from the countries where the stories come from; in this case, South Africa and Kenya.
