In the center of Adaora's slice of paw-paw is a perfect star shape. She doesn't want to spoil it, so she and her cousin Ugo set off to find a different piece of fruit. As they walk, the children see all kinds of shapes: Uncle Eze's rectangular agbada, musicians playing circle-topped elephant drums, a crescent-shaped plantain, even plants with leaves in the shape of a heart. Ifeoma Onyefulu's vibrant prose and vivid photographs are a charming introduction to both shapes and to Nigerian village life. Sidebars provide further details about the fascinating objects illustrated.Onyefulu, Ifeoma is the author of 'Triangle for Adaora An African Book of Shapes', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845077389 and ISBN 1845077385.
