Mama's Sleeping Scarf

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writing as Nwa Grace-James, illustrated by Joelle Avelino

Chino's mama wears a sleeping scarf at night, to keep her hair soft and nice. One day, when Mama is leaving for work, she lets Chino play with the scarf and so begins a magical day of imagination and adventure. Running with the scarf, Chino weaves together the little moments of home life into a glorious celebration of love passed through generations, as well as the power of the mother-daughter relationship and the gentle joys that build a perfect day.
