Geography Marble Africa
Description
Book Introduction
"Children Who Pay Taxes" won the British School Library Association Nonfiction Award, recommended by teacher Ok Hyo-jin.
An elementary geography textbook that fosters social thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the world.
A journey to the "real Africa," obscured by the image of a desert and impoverished continent.


『Geography Marble Africa』 is a storytelling-style geography exploration book created by a collaboration of African writers and illustrators.
The moment you open the book, you will be transported on a vivid journey across the vast continent, from the Sahara Desert in North Africa to the grasslands of South Africa, encountering the regions, nature, culture, and history one after another.

Aimed at elementary and middle school students, this book is a cutting-edge geography textbook that goes beyond textbook learning and fosters insight into global affairs, the environment, and cultural diversity.
The continent is divided into five major regions, introducing African countries within each region and covering their climate, industry, lifestyle, culture, and historical events.
The story of the 50 or so countries within the continent is not the story of a hot and poor continent that is stereotypically told.
The only country in the world where an international film festival is held in a refugee camp and the country with the most pyramids is not Egypt, and it is Africa where coffee, chocolate, cars and high-tech industries coexist.
A new face of Africa, unknown even to adults, is fully presented with paintings that vividly portray the unique cultures of each country.
By reading this book, children can naturally understand light-hearted world current affairs and social geography concepts that can be connected to various news stories.

At school, it can be used as a presentation or research activity in conjunction with social studies and geography classes, and at home, it can be used in a variety of ways with parents, such as the activity sheets at the end of the book, such as ‘African Flags’ and ‘Country Name Guessing’.
Through this, children can not only learn to read, but also develop curiosity about the unfamiliar world and an attitude of global citizenship that respects differences.
Africa, which was only seen through the European lens, was widely misunderstood as a land of poverty and aridity.
This book, written by an African, allows children to experience the breath of the continent and will be a unique exploration of world geography.

Publisher's Review
The power to understand the structure of the world begins with geography.
A geography book filled with insights learned while traveling through Africa beyond textbooks.


『Geography Marble Africa』 is designed to allow you to travel to every corner of the African continent and encounter various geographical cultures.
It connects the natural environment and cultural characteristics of each region and shows, with beautiful illustrations, how climate, resources, and industry are intertwined with the societies of over 50 countries.
From the civilizations intertwined with the Sahara Desert in North Africa, to the legacy of ancient empires in West Africa, to the grasslands and rare flora and fauna of East Africa, to the cutting-edge cities of South Africa, this journey broadens your perspective on the vast world.
As you turn the pages, you will see how today's world trends and geographic concepts intersect.


A true African story that breaks stereotypes
A children's geography textbook that fosters curiosity and thought.


This book boldly erases the fragmentary image of 'Africa is poor.'
A film festival held in a refugee camp in Africa, a city with rapidly growing IT technology and industry, and the labor reality behind a splendid gold mine.
The vivid charms of each country, such as the pride of overcoming the painful history of colonialism, are depicted in detail and in many layers.
The African story depicted in this book goes beyond mere interest; it naturally conveys "hidden values ​​and diversity."
It covers culture, economy, and history, helping children understand the world through the tool of ‘geography.’


An active geography book that expands reading, exploration, and thinking.
Living geography lessons at school and at home


The 'Enjoy Amazing Africa 100 Times More' activity sheet included at the end of the book is a practical appendix that allows you to explore and organize the interesting African stories you've read.
This is a useful resource designed to help students organize the geography knowledge they have learned at school and at home, including various quizzes that allow them to look at the national flags of each country, try to remember the cultural characteristics of each country in this global village era, and write the names of countries.
At school, it can be used as a presentation/exploration-type teaching material linked to social studies and geography classes, and at home, it can be used as a discussion-type reading material to broaden conversations with parents.

An experience that broadens your thinking by encountering a world beyond the textbook through African geography and culture.
"Geography Marble Africa" ​​presents curious children with the geographical thinking and worldview they need to grow into future global leaders.
