Child's Day series.
This book follows seven-year-old Nii Kwei, who lives with his family in Accra, through a day at home and at school. Illustrated with adequate photos, the informal text conveys basic cultural information. Most non-English words are explained in context, but only the boy's name is given a pronunciation. The glossary repeats the text's translations but offers no pronunciation guide. Bib., ind.
