A vibrantly illustrated and culturally rich story that celebrates cultural diversity, multigenerational bonds, and family traditions. A beautiful introduction to a piece of African culture. The perfect read for home and school!
When Mr. Washington asks the class to bring in something for show and tell that represents who they are and where they come from, Ama rushes home to get ideas from Nana. Nana reaches into the vast collection of her stories and retells Ama the story of Kente, a handwoven fabric once reserved only for the royalty of the Asante Kingdom in Ghana. Join Ama as she learns and shares her rich culture and family heritage with her class.
In this beautiful story, Erica Asante shows us that no matter who we are, where we come, and where in the world we find ourselves, our cultural heritage is to be celebrated and shared with others.
