A For Africa: S For Sierra Leone

Hailing from London, Luba Salpetrier is a writer,
who has used her maternal heritage as inspiration for her debut children's
book. She has always loved literature and travel and has finally taken the
plunge in combining the two. Her career as a Primary School Teacher has enabled
her to contribute to shaping the lives of youngsters, opening their eyes to the
wider world. She understands how access to quality texts can significantly boost
children's understanding of literacy. Her hope is that A For Africa: S
For Salone will contribute to the diverse range of children's
literature that is currently emerging from the UK. By combining her own passion
and exploration of this continent, through the letters of the alphabet (making
it accessible for children of all ages) Luba hopes to write more books, which
delve into the rich history of this special continent that is so very dear to
her.
