    Ashanti to Zulu

    Caldecott Book Title: Ashanti to Zulu Reading Level: Third Grade 3.7 Genre: Informational About the Author: Margaret Musgrove was born and raised in Plainville, Connecticut. She received her B.A. from the University of Connecticut, her M.S. from Central Connecticut State College, and is currently working on her doctoral dissertation at the University of Massachusetts. She has lived and studied in Ghana, and has done extensive research there, at the University of Massachusetts, and at Yale in the preparation of this book. Ms. Musgrove now lives in New Haven, Connecticut, with her husband and two young children. Ashanti to Zulu is her first book. Book Review: Ashanti to Zulu describes the cultures of about twenty-six African tribes from the Ashanti to the Zulu. ¿Ashanti weavers make a beautiful cloth called kente.¿ They weave the cloth into bright silk threads and give each different design a name. Zulu dancers salute their chief and play their drums as they dance. ¿The Zulus have beautiful and complicated dances for all occasions.¿ This book describes each of the tribes clothing styles, their villages and homes, as well as their lifestyles. It explains about their ceremonies, celebrations and day to day customs. ¿Chagga priests perform this ceremony in traditional costumes, and sometimes the children¿s faces are painted. After a big celebration, the children are considered adults.¿ There is also a map showing where each tribe resides in Africa. This book is interesting and informative and would be a wonderful way to introduce children to African culture. I would recommend it for learning and enjoyment. Bibliographic Information: Musgrove, Margaret. Ashanti to Zulu African Traditions. New York: The Dial Press, 1976.
