About this product

Product Information

*A New York Times Book of the Year: Children's Books of 2020* Age range 5 to 9 Some people have dresses for every occasion but Afiya needs only one. Her dress records the memories of her childhood, from roses in bloom to pigeons in flight, from tigers at the zoo to October leaves falling. 'This joyous celebration of childhood, culture and place by the Jamaican poet (who died in 2017) follows a young girl named Afiya - 'healt' in Swahili - whose summer frock 'collects' what she sees as she dances across an island in motion. Each airy spread is a fresh canvas for its Brazilian illustrator, just as Afiya's dress is newly washed each morning.' - New York Times
