"Mpuke, Our Little African Cousin" by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade is a story of an African child, exhibiting the culture of Africa.

Excerpt:

"Far away, toward the other side of the round earth, far to the east and south of America, lies the great continent of Africa. There live many people strange to us, with their black skins, kinky, woolly hair, flat noses, and thick lips. These black people we call Africans or negroes, and it is a little child among them that we are going to visit by and by."
