A great accolade for a great writer and illustrator.
Ifeoma's books and gallery are available to view and to buy and there is also a US version of her website, where US visitors to the site can purchase Ifeoma's books from Amazon.com
This is part of Ifeoma's programme about portraying Africa as a place full of colour, life and vibrancy and bringing this to America. Breaking down barriers, making bridges, encouraging communication and interest.
There are organisations that are already active in this endeavour, the Africa- America Institute , which has a programme to help in education and training and the site America .gov which promotes partnership for peace and prosperity.
