BOOK NOOK
To mark UNESCO’s African World Heritage Day on 5 May, which celebrates the continent’s unique cultural and natural heritage, we look at some books you can share with your little ones!
This year marks the 38th annual African World Heritage Day on Sunday 5 May – an opportunity to shine a light on and celebrate the vibrant cultural heritage that exists in the countries across the African continent, as well as highlight how these have evolved as they’ve merged with other cultures from around the world.
So, we’ve scoured for a range of picture and story books that children will be enticed to explore to generate activities and interests throughout the month of May and beyond!
