Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2--The Benin kingdom is home to the Edo people, who were among the many groups of West Africans who were enslaved and taken to the Americas, bringing with them a rich heritage of religion, art, and customs. This book briefly describes the people as they live in their country today: their gods, royalty, trade, art, and culture. A full-color photo appears opposite each page of text. This book gives children a basic understanding of the subject.
