Brief Description:
Journey with a young girl as she explores the mesmerizing wonders of a
Nigerian night market, where each stall is an adventure waiting to be
discovered! Filled with vibrant illustrations, this captivating picture
book invites young readers into a world of magic, mystery, and the joy of
finding treasures in unexpected places. The Night Market is here again, and
all one girl needs is a bag of gold coins to enter. The market is alive
with the sound of hawkers and traders. “A taste of tangy sweetness!”
hollers a man behind a towering fountain of lemonade. “I’ll trade you a
joke for a coin,” a little boy calls. “Home grown spices!” shouts a granny
at a counter. What should the girl buy? But, wait! Do you hear that? It’s
the sound of an old African drum. Have a turn, then learn to make cards
disappear when you shout Abracadabra! When the sun starts to rise and the
night market winds down, the girl has one gold coin left—just enough to buy
a return ticket to the night market. With stunning illustrations by
Nigerian-American artist Briana Mukodiri Uchendu, here is an enchanting
read aloud about curiosity and the wonders that lie hidden in plain sight.
