A Story about Afiya | James Berry
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
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. A joyful celebration of a young girl's childhood, written by the late Coretta Scott King Book Award-winning Jamaican poet James Berry.

Beautiful poem. I would love to use this as a writing prompt. Children might think of a metaphor and write about what sticks to them. Or color if they can't write yet.

#JumpIntoJanuary Day 15: One of these books has a #YellowCover, obviously. 💕 Review is forthcoming. Tagging is still problematic - so will do it here: @Eggs

#ReadHarder2020: A picture book with a human main character from a marginalized community. #ReadHarder

I don't normally read picture books, except to my niblings, and I haven't been able to see them this year, so I wasn't sure what to do about this prompt. Then I saw @BeaG's review of this book and decided to check it out. It's a sweet book with really gorgeous art, and I may well buy a copy for the niblings.

S3V3N I‘m glad you enjoyed it. I loved it. 4y

Another great picture book. This story is about a little girl who wears the same dress every day, but captures memories on her dress. The memories for the day become the print on her dress. Loved it.
