Teaching Children the History of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba
Two good books for young readers! The Gift of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba is a story of a little boy who grew up to be a great author, scholar, and leader as French colonization took over his nation. Without gathering an army or hurting a single person, Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba helped his people face colonial forces while filling them with the love of God.
Readers can color their way through history with Ahmadu Bamba: Sage of Senegal. This coloring book introduces the life of a sage who transformed his society and lands beyond while teaching rich history! Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba was born in now modern-day Senegal and lived during the French occupation of his land. Through coloring and a variety of activities, you can chart Shaykh Bamba's life and learn about some of his many great achievements. Features geography lessons, word searches, mazes, connect-the-dots, a glossary, and answer keys.
Both books are written by Rukayat Yakub a Certified Professional Coach, Children's Author and founder of Light Legacy Books, a children's publishing house dedicated to telling the stories of little-known heroes from across the globe.

Talking about CHEZ ALPHA BOOKS
New Arrivals in the Lending Library
Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth's water from harm and corruption--a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
Two great-grandchildren ask their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad, and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela, the global icon of peace and forgiveness who spent 27 years in prison. They learn that he was a freedom fighter who put down his weapons for the sake of peace, and who then became the President of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and realise that they can continue his legacy in the world today.
The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson.
