Nongo set out with a vision to create a book that highlights the connections that her and her family have with the rainforest which is located in Central Africa (most parts of which are in the Democratic Republic of Congo).Animals of Our Land is a book about many of the different animals you can find in the Congo and how you can pronounce their names in Lingala. The narrative of this book follows the Mokonzo family, who are on an adventure in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They soon discover all of the amazing animals that inhabit the country such as giraffes, fish, and exotic birds. It's a fun and uplifting experience that aims to bring joy to anyone reading it.
