Mo and the Heart of Africa is a vibrant, joyful picture book for children aged 3-8, written and conceived by Mo – one of the UK’s youngest published authors, aged just 4 years old. When five extraordinary child heroes discover that Africa is calling, they must journey across the entire continent to protect its most precious treasure – the Heart of Africa itself. Each hero carries a power rooted in the heritage of their homeland: Mo (West Africa) – The Leader, whose golden talking drum awakens the voices of ancestors. Kito (East Africa) – The Adventurer, whose lion-shaped compass summons wild animals and senses danger. Zola (Southern Africa) – The Peacemaker, whose shimmering rainbow staff unites people and spreads healing. Amari (Central Africa) – The Nature Keeper, whose leaf pendant regenerates the rainforest and restores dying land. Jabari (North Africa) – The Historian, whose pyramid medallion reveals ancient secrets and unlocks forgotten knowledge. Together they discover that their roots are not just history ,they are a superpower. A celebration of African heritage, identity and pride, Mo and the Heart of Africa brings the landscapes, traditions, wildlife and spirit of the entire African continent to life in a story that will stay with children and parents long after the last page. Perfect for: Black History Month, diverse classroom reading, birthday gifts, baby showers, and any child who deserves to see themselves as a hero.
