Book Description
for Afronia Academy by April Showers and Terrance Crawford
From the Publisher
Divine and Unique are attending a new magical school called Afronia Academy. It's a very hard school to get into, and Superior Majestic reminds them that they were chosen to attend because they are kind, fair, smart, and believe in themselves. There, the Afro Unicorns meet a student named Dreama. Dreama seems like she's always distracted, but why? Unique and Divine have got to find out!
This full-color graphic novel is great for young readers beginning their graphic novel journey and graphic novel enthusiasts alike. It also features a Dyslexia-friendly font. Dreama uses a few words in Spanish, with a pronunciation guide and Spanish language glossary in the back to help kids navigate new text. Dreama is bilingual, and readers will enjoy learning phrases with her.
When Afro Unicorn creator April Showers realized that her favorite emoji--the unicorn!--was only available in white, she was inspired to create a more inclusive brand for children of color to celebrate how magical, unique, and divine they truly are.
"The brand, created by author Showers, has a cultural resonance that cannot be understated, and young readers will see important aspects of Black beauty and empowerment reflected in the characterization and storytelling of the Afro Unicorns. . . this appealing unicorn book has a significant underpinning of inclusivity." - School Library Journal for Afro Unicorn: The Land of Afronia (vol. 1)
