Book Synopsis



A picture book bursting with life and flavors about a son and his father cooking up a beloved dish that originated in West Africa--jollof recipe included!

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.



Review Quotes




"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

Esi the Brave (Who Was Not Afraid of Anything) is his debut and the first of several children's books.
