 The vibrant sights and sounds of West Africa come alive as children learn about the region's diverse geography and cultures, and they explore the history of African Americans. They'll learn to count to 10 in the More language and practice a few words in the Yoruba language, take a field trip to an African food market, and learn how to make their own African adinkra cloth designs. They'll also enjoy the animated folktale, "Anansi the Spider," and sing the traditional Senegalese folk song, "Galigi." Part of the American Cultures for Children Video Series, which introduces children to the rich tapestry of world cultures thriving in America today. Features Tony Award-winning actress Phylicia Rashad. A teacher's guide is included and is available online. |
1997 National Parenting Publications Gold Award winner.
"  ...Highly recommended...Vibrant filmmaking, a sparkling soundtrack, and a fast-paced-yet constantly informative-format, make the American Cultures for Children series a genuine winner on both the educational and the entertainment fronts."- Video Librarian"The videos defy stereotypes, rejoicing in the unique aspects of different cultures, while pointing out how much we have in common. The videos would be delightful and useful additions to multicultural collections." -School Library Journal "Actor Phylicia Rashad hosts these lively, nicely styled concoctions of on-location footage, studio shots, stock clips, animation, and graphics. Both informative and pleasingly presented." - Booklist
