About this product
Product Information
When Amadi disobeys his mother and runs off to the market instead of sticking around for a reading lesson, he encounters a much-admired older boy secretly reading at a book stall. Crowding himself in among the stacks of books, Amadi becomes intrigued by a storybook with pictures of a strange white creature with a carrot for a nose. Over the course of a typical mischievous day, unable to shake his questions about the snowman, Amadi discovers the vast world reading could open up--especially for an Igbo man of Nigeria.

Reviews
"An important addition to any library, this offering fills a necessary niche for current-day stories from other cultures and focuses attention on reading as an important and satisfying accomplishment." -- School Library Journal "Purposeful yet without the heavy didacticism of some books on the topic of literacy, this tale shines a welcome light on cultural differences." -- Kirkus Reviews "Children will enjoy reading about Amadi's life in the village, depicted in the earth-toned, intimate scenes. It's a nice reversal that young children will be able to grasp--what looks exotic and faraway to one person is a place where someone else lives." -- Booklist "Dimitrea Tokunbo of Nigerian heritage illustrates the story with authenticity. The browns, greens, and oranges give a warm feeling to the issue of reading...the author makes the point well of the necessity of reading for life." -- Multicultural Review " Amadi's Snowman is a beautiful tribute to the power of reading and one boy's journey of self-discovery through books. Dimitrea Tokunbo's evocative illustrations underscore the loving interchange between a mother and son. The richly hued paintings invite us to enjoy Nigeria's many splendors and provide the perfect stage for Katia Novet Saint-Lot's imaginative story." --Andrea Davis Pinkney, Coretta Scott King Honor Author of Let It Shine: Stories of Black Women Freedom Fighters "Katia Novet Saint-Lot has given us an important and moving glimpse into the curiosity, wonder, and knowledge a book can bring--and into the life of children in modern African cities. As Yohannes Gebregeorgis, founder of Ethiopia Reads, says, 'Books change lives.' How terrific to have a story that shows how and why." --Jane Kurtz, children's book author "Amadi's first-ever glimpse at a snowman--one depicted in the pages of a book--inspires him to transform from a resistant to an enthusiastic student of reading. Children will identify with Amadi's initial reluctance, his mixed feelings about a new challenge, and his attempts to rationalize staying the same. Yet they also will likely be inspired, as Amadi is, by the possibilities of reading, the way it can fill one's heart and shine a light on the unknown." --Cynthia Leitich Smith, children's book author, Children will enjoyreading about Amadi's life in the village, depicted in the earth-toned,intimate scenes. It's a nicereversal that youngchildren will be able to grasp--what looks exotic and faraway to one person is aplace where someone else lives., Amadi's experiences aregenuine and come across naturally in the narrative. The vibrant illustrations depict the settingand bring richness and depth to the story., Amadi's experiences aregenuine and come across naturally in the narrative.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
