Aya: The Secrets Come Out Book

Aya has captured the hearts of North American readers of all ages for the rare portrait it paints of a vibrant, happy, bourgeois Ivory Coast in the 1970s, based upon Marguerite Abouetâ??s youth in Yop City. Not only is Aya complemented with Clément Oubrerieâ??s gorgeous artwork, but the volumes also offer a slice-of-life peek into African culture: complete with recipes, glossaries, and wardrobe instructions for turning oneâ??s pagne (brightly colored fabric) into a skirt, head wrap, or baby carrier. Engaging and fun, the universal stories in Aya provide a much-needed context for todayâ??s heartbreaking news stories.Aya is the winner of the Best First Album award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, the Childrenâ??s Africana Book Award, and the Glyph Award; was nominated for the Quill Award, the YALSAâ??s Great Graphic Novels list, and the Eisner Award; and was included on â??best ofâ? lists in The Washington Post, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal.Read More
