(4) K-3 This attractive picture book catalogs the natural inspirations for mud designs on African bògòlan cloth. Readers may have difficulty following the protagonist's swift transformation from child apprentice to a married woman preparing cloth for her own baby, including a brief birth scene at the end, but the eye-catching folk illustrations in a bright pastel palette are engaging.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
