"Ashanti to Zulu is an alphabetic picture book made for older readers. On the first page of text is says, "I have tried to introduce the reader to 26 African peoples be depicting a custom important to each. Some of the customs are unique and relate only to a particular people. Others are shared by many peoples, but all reflect African values or philosophies." On each page there is a letter of the alphabet, a paragraph describing the word that starts with that letter, the pronunciation, and a beautiful picture. This book talks about food, music, religion, animals, landforms, and other aspects of the African culture. The illustrations in the book are very detailed and interesting to look at. The informational text mixed with the beautiful pictures enables readers to learn a lot about African culture."
"I enjoyed the illustrations, as well as the bits of African culture they represented. I think my favorite illustration was for the letter L, the Lozi."
