This is a perfect read for back to school--no matter what that looks like \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is Grandparents Day at Zura's elementary school, and the students are excited to introduce their grandparents and share what makes them special. Aleja's grandfather is a fisherman. Bisou's grandmother is a dentist. But Zura's Nana, who is her favorite person in the world, looks a little different from other grandmas. Nana Akua was raised in Ghana, and, following an old West African tradition, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana--or worse, make fun of her--Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Akua knows what to do, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint, Nana Akua is able to explain what makes her special, and to make all of Zura's classmates feel special, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker, Tricia Elam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schwartz \u0026amp; Wade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525581130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 10.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Tricia Elam Walker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39267839443019,"sku":"9780525581130","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_12138ff9-6743-4935-aa1c-e3f1599711cb.jpg?v=1615909820","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/nana-akua-goes-to-school-9780525581130","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
