Cameroon-Born Author Fleurie Leclercq Shares the Beauties of Africa Through her Books for Kids
Children worldwide can discover the African culture and its beauties through Fleuries Leclerq's books
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Children worldwide can discover the African culture and beauties through Fleuries Leclerq's books. In a world so desperate for innovation, high-tech gadgets and man-made wonders, taking a step back to the roots may seem a little bit outlandish.
But this is exactly what Fleurie Leclercq tried to do with her adventure books. Children should be reminded that not all heroes wear exoskeleton suits or drive expensive cars fitted with jet-engines. Sometimes, a simple girl who wanders the deep forests of Central Africa can be a hero
Through her books, Fleurie teaches children about the cultural and natural heritage which must be preserved by the generations to come. Fleurie's works of art include:
Learning the basics about animals living in Africa is really easy and fun when using Fleurie's African Animals ABC. The vivid colors of the illustrations and the goofy style in which the animals are depicted will make the kids laugh, but also stir their curiosity. Children will find out where those animals live, what they eat, how they spend their time and many more interesting facts. Each animal has a cute name, both suggestive for the species it represents and the letter of the alphabet with which the name of the species starts.
Kids can discover: How much water does Elroi the Elephant drink each day? How fast can Obi the Ostrich run? Why does Polo the Pangolin curl into a ball? How does Wasee the Warthog use his tusks? Who is the World's tallest animal?
Children will learn more about peculiar, exotic animals. Some of them are endangered. Teaching kids to treasure each animal is a noble duty.
The deep forests of Cameroon promise many exciting adventures. Snow Flower and the Panther is a beautiful story with many meanings that reveal themselves with each new reading. It is a story about friendship, national pride, ancestral cultural heritage and living in harmony with nature.
Deep in the forests of Cameroon, in the heart of Central Africa, a young girl named Snow Flower lives with her grandmother. One-day Snow Flower is out collecting water with her friend Remi. As they walk through the forest they hear a rustling sound in the bushes. What will Snow Flower and Remi do when they discover what is in the bushes?
Beautifully illustrated, the story of Snow Flower and the Panther is perfect for children ages 5 to 8.
