Margy Burns Knight wrote a book explaining that Africa is not a country. To begin with, kids are having fun in a park playing soccer. Also some of them were dancing, eating and sitting in a circle. Half of the kids in the neighborhood just went to school. This book was written to show that Africa is not a country and is a fun continent. The book shows that every race matters, not just black or white, every race. The reason they matter is because people should not get treated badly because of their race or skin color.
