Kofi is a seven year old boy living in Bonwire, Ghana. Maya Angelou again demonstrates her narrative mastery by touring the country of Ghana through the eyes of a young boy. Kofi leads readers as far north as Bolgatanga and as far south as the coast. Phographer Maragaret Courtney-Clarke's vivid photojournalism envelopes the reader in a world of color, motion, culture, and history. Angelou subtly communicates diversity and life in the first African nation to gain independence. Readers will come away with a well-rounded introduction to Ghana's beautiful land and people.
365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.
