Long before most countries on today's map existed, Africa had empires with universities, gold roads and warrior queens. Mansa Musa of Mali was so rich his pilgrimage changed the price of gold. Queen Nzinga outwitted an empire for forty years. Yaa Asantewaa led an army when the men hesitated. These are the stories children remember.
Each one is retold for ages 4 to 8 in about two minutes, with free narration, a quiz and questions for parents. They are a gentle way into real history: Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Kush, Great Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and the Ashanti kingdom all appear here.
