Telling Time With Benjamin Banneker and Sekou

Description

 It’s me, Sekou!  In this book I’m Telling Time with Benjamin Banneker!  Join me as I listen to one of the world’s greatest minds teach me the concept of time.  Benjamin Banneker was a mathematician, a scientist, an astronomer, a surveyor, an urban planner, a farmer, an author, a publisher and successful entrepreneur!  He invented the Clock, so we can call him the expert of telling time.  We’ll learn how many seconds are in a minute and how many minutes are in an hour and how many hours are in a day!  We’ll explore inventions like the Tekhenu, the Merkhet and the Sundial and how they were used by our ancestors to tell time.  Benjamin Banneker always embraced his African Heritage. So he was very familiar with the tools our African ancestors used to teach the rest of the world these same concepts!
