From the Authors:

"A is for Africa is a very special book for Kunda Kids, African children and families in the diaspora, and the general public who have misrepresented understandings of the complex continent of Africa.

Throughout the years, the stories we saw of Africa were not being told by Africans but by others who had little comprehension of who we were and our stories." - Louisa Olafuyi
