It's rare that a children's book speaks to kids and adults, but Neo and Nubia, The Greatest Walk does just that. It is the first in a planned series about twin brother and sister Neo and Nubia, eight and a half years old blessed with brilliance and adventurous spirits.

In this inaugural story, the twins and their best friend are told stories of history by their grandfather Nmandi. They soon find themselves transported to a magical African land where those stories come to life with startling and colorful reality. Neo and Nubia's heroic efforts will capture kids, and they will love reading the book's smooth, rhyming verses. Adults will enjoy the subtle yet compelling stories of world history and their uplifting messages of hope.

Neo and Nubia return all too soon to our world, but their grandfather has many more stories to tell them, and for lucky readers of this fine series, that's the best news of all.

History is meant to be told, and the authors did an amazing job at creating a magnificent children's book that does just that, taking the journey with Neo & Nubia as they discovered the first humans, and the creation of fire, all while surrounded by Africa's rich culture. I loved every page of it. Thank you for sharing this story. I look forward to the next installment
