Review

"The Genius of Egypt II" continues bringing one of the most important historical figures to life through amazing storytelling and colorful illustrations. As a person who loves African history, "The Genius of Egypt" & " The Genius of Egypt II " I would highly recommend them as starter children's books to get children engaged about the life of Imhotep and the African Diaspora.
