Afiya's dress is unlike any other; it captures the essence of her childhood adventures. Each day, it transforms with memories of blooming roses, soaring pigeons, and zoo tigers. As Afiya explores the world, her dress becomes a canvas of her experiences, celebrating the magic and wonder of youth. What stories will her dress tell next?
From the publisher
Some people have dresses for every occasion but Afiya needs only one. Her dress records the memories of her childhood, from roses in bloom to pigeons in flight, from tigers at the zoo to October leaves falling. A joyful celebration of a young girl’s childhood, written by the late Coretta Scott King Book Award-winning Jamaican poet James Berry.
