Nana Fatou was raised in Ghana, and, following an old West African tradition, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana--or worse, make fun of her--Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Fatou knows what to do, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint, Nana Fatou is able to explain what makes her special, and make all of Zura's classmates feel special, too.
