Description

When a young boy receives his first smock as a gift, his Dada tells him that every smock has a special story.

Will his smock make him as joyful as a harvest dancer?

Or as powerful as his royal elders, the Dagomba?

In his smock, what will his story be?

From Reuben Nantogmah, Samantha Cleaver, and Keisha Okafor comes a joyful and lyrical picture book that celebrates what weaves us and our stories together--past, present, and future.

Critical Reviews

"There is a tangible sense of cultural pride being shared between Nabila and Dada and the other men in the community. The illustrations and back matter provide additional details, and an author's note adds a personal element." -- Booklist
