"Educational and beautifully illustrated. Njinga is a must-read and beautiful addition to any child's library. Every page you turn compels you to take a moment to capture the emotions in the story through detailed and beautiful illustrations. I especially loved the fact page at the end of the story. It allows you to have a conversation about what you've learned and take away key facts." – Reader

"5 out of 5 stars!! I purchased this for my niece for her birthday. She loves puzzles and worksheets and she loves learning about African queens! This book is great because it combines all of those. The puzzles are difficult enough to be fun, but not so hard that an adult has to help. This book certainly played a part in peaking her interest about African queens and encouraged her to learn more about the queen, Njinga of Angola. We love it!" – Reader

"Fabulous Workbook for Kids. I am a big fan of Njinga Mbande and her story, but this workbook is more than I expected. The activities are fun and engaging and the pictures are beautiful. My 7 year old son absolutely loves working through it. I will be buying another one for my younger kid and one for my niece." -- Reader
