Children’s books by regions in Africa

According to West Africa Brief, there are 6 regions in Africa. North, South, East, West, and Central. The Diaspora region is included as a region but is not a typical geographic region. It includes people of African origin who live in other countries and want to contribute to the development of the Africa Union. That region will not be included below.
