The stunning sights and sounds of a Nigerian wedding are vividly brought to life in Ifeoma Onyefulu's new picture book. The different traditions and customs of this African wedding are explored and explained through the eyes of one young spectator. We see the preparations made by the whole community in anticipation of the traditional African ceremony and second religious ceremony.
Ekinadose, a young boy, narrates the story of a traditional Nigerian wedding in a sensitive and simple style. This is a lovely book with full-colour photos which show us the preparations made by people of another culture for a happy celebration of marriage. I liked the fact that the book shows a positive side of Africa – colourful and joyful. - www.writeaway.org.uk
This is one of the many books (Ifeoma) has written about the continent in which she grew up, accompanied by her own beautiful photographs... The photographs, together with her simple explanations, ensure that there is plenty to talk about. - The Ultimate First Book Guide
