"All the children chime in,their voices leaping over each other"

This book really spoke out to me especially the fact that this could be used to help show students other cultures and get conversations/connections about their own culture!

This story take you along Nana Akua going to school to teach students about the culture in Ghana the message behind the story allows students to think more deeply about their own culture/families. As well as things that they value.

This book was about a nana who was from a different culture than most of the people in their town and had to face the backlash of the marks on her faces. She goes into school on grandparents day and has the best activity for all the kids to see and start to understand her culture.

“‘Yours are way better than tattoos”

They all picked their own “face marking”
