Jollof Day

Ages 3–6

Un album débordant de vie et de saveurs sur un fils et son père qui préparent du riz jollof — le plat bien-aimé originaire d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Tôt le matin alors que le soleil se lève encore, un jeune garçon réveille son père et ensemble ils se lancent dans le rituel joyeux de la préparation du jollof : frotter, couper, mixer et remuer les ingrédients. Avec un texte rythmé qui demande à être lu à voix haute et des illustrations exubérantes pleines d'élan, Jollof Day célèbre les plats qui rassemblent une famille. Recette de jollof incluse !
