A Story About Afiya (Lantana Global Picture Books)

Every day, Afiya wakes to a brand new day and a clean white dress, ready for her adventures to begin… Some people have dresses for every occasion but Afiya needs only one. Her dress records the memories of her childhood, from roses in bloom to pigeons in flight, from tigers at the zoo to October leaves falling. A joyful celebration of a young girl’s childhood, written by the late Coretta Scott King Book Award-winning Jamaican poet James Berry.
