This week Miss Rebekah took us back to the incredible continent of Africa. She read the book Ghana and you can put it on hold right here. She also read the book Leopards and you can put that on hold by visiting this link.
Nana Akua Goes to School is a really, really great book about a young girl whose grandma is from Ghana. Put Nana Akua on hold here. AND you can watch an interview with the author and the illustrator right here! Check it out! If you are a super-special grown you, you FOR SURE want to read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. She was born in Ghana and a lot of the book takes place there. It is a favorite book of Miss Rebekah, Miss Kara, and Miss Ing. Put it on hold here.
Ghana's government is considered to be very stable. Elections have been held peacefully since 1992. Many people in Ghana are still struggling for rights. Groups in Ghana are trying to bring equal rights to women, children, LGBTQA+ people, and persons who worship in non-traditional ways.
Hanging out and having fun! @sage_artisticowereko |
