Africa Is Not a Country

I came upon this book when it appeared in my library reserve pile when I requested Africa Is Not a Country: Notes on a Bright Continent. It was my error and I'm glad I made it, because, otherwise I might not have found this gem of a book.
This is a beautiful book and highly recommended for children and adults.
Each page focuses on a country, showing the lives of children in that country in play, school and family life.
It is a positive rendering of an emerging continent.

But is it just gr or is that how the name of the country is spelled in the actual book?
Because there is something a bit ironic in a book about the countries of Africa, not properly spelling the name of a country.

I returned the book to the library, so I can;t tell.
We live with this in Hawai'i.
Most typewriters do even have the okina which is prominent in many place names on these islands.
