The Children’s Africana Book Awards (CABA) are presented annually to the authors and illustrators of the best children’s and young adult books on Africa published or republished in the U.S. The awards were created by Africa Access and the Outreach Council of the African Studies Association (ASA) to encourage the publication and use of accurate, balanced children’s materials about Africa. The awards are presented in two categories: Young Children and Older Readers.

Introduction à la littérature jeunesse du Cameroun, livre de 207 pages est l’un des plus récents ouvrages de recherche sur la littérature de jeunesse en Afrique francophone sorti chez L’Harmattan France en 2019.
