About the Book

When the author moved to Nigeria
in the early 1970s with her young family, she discovered that Nigeria has so
many fascinated birds that she wanted to share with her children and other
children. But she couldn't find books on
Nigerian or West African birds. Instead,
the bookshops had lots of books about birds from the United States and
Britain. This gave birth to


Birds of Our Land is a child's guide to
West African birds with the aim of introducing children to some of the many
fascinating birds that they may not be familiar with. It explains the basic features of birds and key
things to note in observing them and is accompanied by beautiful paintings by
illustrator Robin Gowen of 25 birds representing the major species in the
region.

Through its rich, poetic descriptions Birds of Our Land offers children a
gateway to the natural world by introducing them to the basics of bird watching.
This book also includes activities relating to birds and a guide for teachers
and parents. It is more than a great read. Birds
of Our Land
is the perfect tool for parents and educators encouraging
children to spend more time outdoors exploring the world of nature and giving
them an appreciation of the beauty and interdependence of all forms of life.
