My Grandfather Is a Magician

This is the story of a little Nigerian boy who doesn’t know what job to do when he grows up. His father teaches in a school, his mother owns a bakery, Auntie Ngo is a doctor, and another aunt makes pots. But his grandfather seems wiser and more interesting than any of them — for he is a traditional healer who uses the ancient knowledge of plants and trees to help his people. Award-winning author Ifeoma Onyefulu presents a vibrant view of African village life in this book for children of all cultures.
