Early in the morning while the sun is still rising, a young boy wakes his father for something special - it’s Jollof Day! With clanging pots and pans, lots of chopped tomatoes and onions, and a secret blend of spices, this father and son dance to the music of kitchen noise while something delicious burbles on the stove. With bouncing text that begs to be read aloud and exuberant illustrations full of momentum, Jollof Day is a celebration of the dishes that bring a family together.
"Mensah’s bouncy text makes lovely use of alliteration and vocabulary . . . vibrant, billowing illustrations and illustrated text that dances across the page. . . . this one will make an ideal read-aloud any day of the year." —Kirkus
"Vibrant illustrations swoop across the pages, mirroring the fervor of the cooks as they prepare
the meal. Their contagious enthusiasm will send readers to the kitchen to try out the recipe at the
back. An enjoyable contemporary celebration of food and family with cultural specificity and
universal appeal." —Booklist
