Review: So good I bought it twice - I love to read books with characters that look like my boys and lately I’ve been noticing that many of the board books we’ve bought or received about black children have been about racism or wider equality issues. However, this book was fun and joyous and my 1 year olds love it when I read it to them using their names rather than baby. I love the illustrations and also we are able to use the book to practice counting, as the story allows for counting of different market products. We love this book so much I bought a second copy.
Review: Charming and Lovely - This is a very lovely book set in a busy Nigerian market (deciphered from my understanding of particular visual and cultural cues, although a specific location is not mentioned in the text). The illustrations are beautiful, joyful, and bright. It follows mama and her baby as they go shopping in market. The illustrator could have, perhaps, found another few shade of brown for some of the characters to reflect the true phenotypical diversity of West Africa. Every single character has the exact same brown colour in the book! Nevertheless, this simple plot charmed my 2 year old and it has become a firm favourite.
