Jamela’s Dress

 Always great to find books that are set in our beloved South Africa! In Not so fast, Songololo a little black boy goes on a shopping trip to the city with his – not so fast anymore – grandmother. In Jamela’s Dress, a little black girl gets carried away by the gorgeous material her mother buys to make a dress for a wedding. The love and respect that flows between the family members are reflected in the tender text and beautiful watercolour and marker illustrations of these wonderful books.
