About the authors
Lola and Lily enjoyed making this S'more because when we worked together we discovered that you can do anything if you try. We choose to do this continent because we thought that it would be fun to learn about because it was a deserted place and it seemed so interesting so we thought that it would be fun to learn about. I hope you can see why I choose this continent. And we also hope that you choose to someday visit Africa because of what you learned from reading Lola and Lily's blog.
