An African Christmas
Hardcover
(Frances Lincoln Children's Books Sept. 19, 2005)
It's Christmastime, and Afam has decided to create and dance his own Mmo, or masquerade, just like the big celebratory Mmos he sees performed at festivals. But each time he starts collecting things to make his costume, family preparations for Christmas haircuts, visiting the tailor, a church service, a trip to their village get in the way. Will Afam ever get to perform his Mmo? This brilliant photo-essay vividly depicts African village life, while the simple, endearing story uses a favorite holiday to gently point out the differences and similarities between cultures.
