Kente for Jojo

Bernard Mensah, illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon

A big brother wants a special Kente cloth for new baby Jojo. With the rest of the family, he travels to choose one, looking for a cloth that feels right for the baby. A passing rainbow and help from a skilled weaver guide the process. Alongside the family's preparation for Jojo, the book shares a legend about Kente's origin and introduces the varied patterns of traditional Kente cloth as a symbol of love.
