Grandfather's Work

By Ifeoma Onyefulu

Book Overview

A proud young boy in a Nigerian village describes the important work of various members of his extended family, but it is obvious that he is most impressed with his grandfather's "magical" work as a traditional healer. Excited to learn the ways of gathering the natural ingredients used in healing, the boy vows to carry on the dying tradition. "Grandfather's Work" is based on the author/photographer's own grandfather, who was also a traditional healer. The sharp, inviting images show life in an African village and invite readers and listeners to think about the work and contributions of their own family members.
