Well done

This book is well written and talks about the unfamiliar behaviour of others, how to deal with it, and how to accept differences. The characters are passing on to Zoe and her friend a very important value, the respect of others, something we should all learn at a young age. This book should be part of every child’s library.

A.K.A Favorite Librarian

This is a wonderful Children’s Book! This title provides a great opportunity to explore cultural representation(s), African History, and the importance of independence. I love how Zoe’s parents discuss discrimination with her and how to properly combat prejudice is just amazing. Her father provides her ancestral history, encouraging the Amazing Zoe to represent her heritage through her name and style– as her own kind of princess. The history of African and Black female leaders and catalysts of change is impressive. This book is great to introduce topics of racial discrimination, representation, diversity and inclusion, the Black Experience, and combating racial prejudices. I truly enjoyed reading this book and have it on my Kindle. So, I can take them whenever I want..
