This is a perfect read for back to school!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is Grandparents Day at Zura's elementary school, and the students are excited to introduce their grandparents and share what makes them special. Aleja's grandfather is a fisherman. Bisou's grandmother is a dentist. But Zura's Nana, who is her favorite person in the world, looks a little different from other grandmas. Nana Akua was raised in Ghana, and, following an old West African tradition, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana--or worse, make fun of her--Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Akua knows what to do, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint, Nana Akua is able to explain what makes her special, and to make all of Zura's classmates feel special, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tricia Elam Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525581138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525581130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Schwartz Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 10.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e508741 \/ Nana Akua Goes to School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Ezra Jack Keats Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2020 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Tricia Elam Walker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055272751359,"sku":"9780525581130","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3d3bcef-e7b2-4ac1-bb5d-873c0a630031.jpg?v=1685034717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nana-akua-goes-to-school-tricia-elam-walker-9780525581130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
