Wish List


If you're thinking of purchasing books to donate, please consider donating some of these titles. Or, if you and your kids are hoping to learn more about Africa, check your local library for some of these titles (and then thank your lucky stars for our public library system!). I've created a Book Drive for Africa Wish List on Amazon, to make it easier for you to purchase books and mail them directly to me. Please be sure to have them delivered by May 15!
