A Triangle for Adaora: An African Book of Shapes by Ifeoma Onyefulu

From chapters.ca:
In the center of Adaora's slice of "paw-paw" is a perfect star shape. She doesn't want to spoil it, so she and her cousin Ugo set off to find a different piece of fruit. As they walk, the children see all kinds of shapes: Uncle Eze's rectangular "agbada," musicians playing circle- topped elephant drums, a crescent- shaped plantain, even plants with leaves in the shape of a heart. Ifeoma Onyefulu's vibrant prose and vivid photographs are a charming introduction to both shapes and to Nigerian village life. Sidebars provide further details about the fascinating objects illustrated.
