A delicious book full of noisy warmth ... Nick Daly's rhythmical musical language perfectly complements the bold pictures, the two merging together to form a vibrant beat of African expression (Armadillo Magazine )
Bursting with life and charm ... Daly's depiction of South African town life is akin to the best kinds of travel illustration; it makes you want to walk right down the streets (Times Educational Supplement )
This wonderful story set in South Africa tells how Jamela gets carried away by the gorgeous material her mother buys to make a dress to wear at Thelma’s wedding. Wrapping it around herself, she shows it off to all her friends. How beautiful it is and how beautiful she is in it. But parading the material around in front of her friends gets it damaged and Jamela feels terrible when she realises what she’s done. Luckily, there’s a happy ending for all in this warm-hearted story about a special occasion within a community (Book Ahead 0-7 )
