It's the Africa Day festival and Emeka can't wait to explore with his mum. Once he arrives, there are so many things to listen to, eat and buy that the fun doesn't stop until evening comes and the stalls begin to close.
Africa Day is a wonderful celebration of African culture. It's an explosion of colour and fun, full of sounds, tastes and smells which bring its pages to life. This story is a great way to introduce young readers to a culture different to their own, or to celebrate one not often depicted in picture books. The artwork is bright and exciting, and I love the contrasting fonts used for emphasis.
Thank you Little Steps Publishing for sending us a copy of this story to review.
Africa Day is written by Chi Mary Kalu and illustrated by Jelena Jordanovic-Lewis
