Follow Princess Halima of the Kingdom of Affia located in ancient Western Sub-Saharan Africa, as she explores the beautiful country of Tanzania. Her adventure includes hiking Mount Kilimanjaro and a trip to Serengeti National Park.
The dialogue is heavy-handed and the story itself not relatable or realistic in its plot (a wealthy princess visits various African countries in a day’s time),yet it offers an interesting survey using the survey apps around of various parts of Tanzanian culture and geography that may appeal to a variety of different interests and serve as a starting point for a lesson or discussion on various themes. As a work of literature, it is unremarkable. As a children’s book on Tanzania, it is without major flaws. I would recommend it without significant reservations.
