By Felgonah Oyuga

Bold. Brave. Brilliant. African women who changed history—now ready to inspire a new generation.

Colour Her Great! is a beautifully curated children’s colouring book that introduces young readers to powerful African heroines—queens, warriors, leaders, activists, and trailblazers who shaped the continent and the world.

Through simple, engaging stories and bold, child-friendly illustrations, children will meet iconic women such as Yaa Asantewaa, Queen Nzinga, Wangari Maathai, Miriam Makeba, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and many more. Each heroine is paired with an inspiring quote and a short, easy-to-understand story designed to spark curiosity, pride, and meaningful conversations.

This book is more than a colouring book—it’s an introduction to African history, courage, leadership, and self-belief.

Whether at home or in the classroom, Colour Her Great! invites children to colour, learn, and grow, one heroine at a time.

Because every child deserves to know that greatness looks like them.
