Jollof Day

Un álbum ilustrado rebosante de vida y sabores sobre un hijo y su padre cocinando arroz jollof — el plato querido que se originó en África Occidental. Temprano por la mañana mientras el sol aún está saliendo, un niño despierta a su padre y juntos emprenden el ritual alegre de preparar jollof: fregando, cortando, licuando y revolviendo los ingredientes. Con un texto rítmico que pide ser leído en voz alta e ilustraciones exuberantes llenas de energía, Jollof Day es una celebración de los platos que unen a una familia. ¡Receta de jollof incluida!

Reseñas

A sensory feast that captures the joy of cooking together and the cultural significance of a beloved West African dish.

Kirkus Reviews

Halfway through the story my son asked if Jollof was a real food. By the end he wanted to help make it.

Parent

The children loved all the food preparation scenes. It led to a lovely discussion about foods that are special in their own families.

Teacher

We don't have any connection to Ghana, but my daughter was completely drawn into the story and the family celebrations.
