A Story About AfiyaThis joyous celebration of childhood, culture and place by the late Jamaican poet follows a young girl named Afiya ('health' in Swahili) whose summer frock 'collects' what she sees as she dances across an island in motion. Some people have dresses for every occasion, but Afiya only needs one. Her dress captures memories of her childhood, from blossoming roses to flying doves, from tigers in the zoo to falling October leaves. This book is recommended
