Kente Colors
Kente Colors / by Debbi Chocolate; illustrations by John Ward -- New York : Walker and Company, c1996. (40 pages)
SUMMARY: A rhyming description of the Kente cloth costumes of the Ashanti and Ewe people of Ghana and a portrayal of the symbolic colors and patterns.
REVIEW: Beautiful illustrations of the Ashanti and Ewe people of Ghana and their colorful clothes. Each pattern each color has a purpose and a meaning which is described through rhyming text. The authors note in the back supplies more information about the colors and the tradition of making patterned cloth.
FURTHER FUN: 1) talk about other cultures that use clothes to define themselves; 2) create their own color & pattern that would define them or their feeling at the moment; and 3) examine their clothes in their closet to see if there are special clothes they wear on special days or when they feel a certain way. (i.e. Sunday clothes, play clothes, yeah its Friday jeans, etc.)
