Why read it?
1 author picked Moja Means One as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This well acclaimed and award-winning book by Muriel Feelings is great for anyone interested in learning about culture through language. What I love so much about this book is its simplicity.

The detailed monochromatic illustrations create a mood of awe and reverie.
From Kwame's list on The best children's books about life in Africa.
