New Children's Book Based on a Yoruba Folktale


New children's book by Dr. Winmilawe
From the ancient stories of the Yoruba comes “Shango’s Son”.  This short, fully illustrated book is the first in the Yoruba Orisa Children’s Series. Shango has a son who becomes his companion and protector.  The son has amazing abilities that help Shango succeed.  The plot, images and even some African Yoruba vocabulary will enrich young and older readers alike.  Spread the word!

I'll add to this that the book is well designed for use by many children who have reading disabilities.

There's no such thing as race!


The author doesn't mention that no genetic marker has been discovered for race. Like time, it's a human construction.
