Baird is an informative work aimed at children, likely written in the late 19th century. The book offers a vivid portrayal of African life, focusing on Culture, customs, and the experiences of children within various African communities. It emphasizes the themes of exploration, Christianity, and the contrasts between local traditions and Western perspectives. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intent to educate young readers about Africa, often referred to as the "dark continent" due to both historical explorations and its cultural complexities. Baird references a well-known missionary hymn to set a tone of admiration and concern for the children and peoples of Africa. He explains how Africa was once largely unknown to Europeans and outlines the importance of sharing the Gospel in these regions. Baird uses accessible language and engaging descriptions to invite readers to learn about the African landscape, its natives, and the influences of colonialism, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the lives of African children.
