Description
This African literature is intentionally written to instruct and reinforce a lot of values in the minds of its readers. Smiling Days & Dancing Nights proudly showcases the beauty of the Nigerian folktales and their songs.
The writer creates colourful images and imagination, imbibing in the readers an appreciation for nature, animals, the elders and our parents; infusing learning points to take home as one reads. The story reviews, at the end of each chapter, lend credence to the fact that indeed messages and lessons are taken home from each story which is a valid way of reinforcing retelling skills amongst children.
A rich blend of cultures teaching succinctly how we should live life
– highly recommended!
