Produktbeschreibung

The first children's book from the best-selling author of We Should All Be Feminists and Americanah-a tender story about a little girl's love for her mother's scarf, and the adventures she shares with it and her whole family. Chino loves the scarf that her mama ties around her hair at night. But when Mama leaves for the day, what happens to her scarf? Chino takes it on endless adventures! Peeking through the colorful haze of the silky scarf, Chino and her toy bunny can look at her whole family as they go through their routines. With stunning illustrations from Joelle Avelino, Mama's Sleeping Scarf is a celebration of family, and a touching story about the everyday objects that remind us of the ones we love.

Rezensionen

'A joyful, acutely observed picture-book account of imaginative adventures with family, a beloved soft toy, and, of course, Mama's scarf' Guardian

'The recurring pattern of Mama's vivid green scarf, decorated with bright red and blue rings and beautifully reproduced on the endsheets, poignantly evokes a sense of the circle of life' Observer

'Illustrations by Joelle Avelino help to bring to life the simple yet powerful message, which encourages every child and parent to keep their imagination alive' Independent

"[Mama's Sleeping Scarf] is a celebration of mother-daughter love and shows how that bond remains, and in fact can be strengthened through objects rich with memories and symbolism . . . This is a heartwarming little tale for children who will be comforted by the notion that even when she is absent, their mother is not far away" Big Issue
