Man-Man and the Tree of Memories
This fantastic book pairs Yaba Badoe’s powerful story of carnival and the shadows of the past with Joelle Avelino’s lively and joyful illustrations. It conjures the magic of dance, friendship and family.
‘A joyous affirmative book - full of colour and the rhythm of the carnival. The exuberant and eyecatching illustrations add to the package magnificently. You cannot help but want to tap your toes too. This story would be an excellent addition to the school library’ Books for Keeps
