A little Nigerian girl describes her village and the way it is divided into ogbos, or age groups. Each ogbo is assigned to a different task, from that of her brother’s, which helps sweep the village clean, to her grandfather’s, which spreads words of wisdom to everyone. Bright, framed color photos show daily life and special occasions, from the narrator’s father with his ogbo building a nursery school to her mother performing at a festival. This exciting and acclaimed photo-essay is based on the author’s own experiences growing up in a similar setting.

Omer likes playing outside in the garden, in the kitchen, in the sitting room or in his bedroom - in fact he likes playing all around the house. But there are always other things going on in these places and he's often interrupted by his brothers and sisters, or his mum and dad. However, there's one special place Omer can go and play - somewhere where no one else goes. And this is Omer's favourite place of all ...

Deron Goes to Nusery School is a title in the First Experiences series, a vivid new series portraying young children's very first experiences of nursery school, time with grandparents, and other events. The first time for anything can be daunting, and these books set out to familiarize children, through simple read-aloud words and beautiful photos, with what seems at first unfamiliar but will eventually become a routine part of everyday life. Set in and photographed in Ghana in West Africa, these beautiful books brilliantly capture these universal early childhood experiences from the relatively unusual and revealing perspective of a country in the developing world. In Deron Goes to Nusery School, Deron watches his mother make his new school clothes. The next day he goes with her to the school and meets his new teacher, who shows him around the school and introduces him to the other children. Playing, singing, writing, eating lunch, resting, and listening to a story are all part of Deron's exciting first day, and at the end he can't wait to go back tomorrow. Written and photographed by an award-winning author, this is a uniquely heart-warming book to share with all young children.
