What Day Were You Born? - Paperback

by Jessie Acquah (Author)

Do you know what day you were born?

Yes, your birthday!

Wonderful if you said August 10th or May 24th.

Was it a Tuesday, or a Friday?

In the Akan and other Ghanaian tribes, you get a special name for the day of the week you were born. This is often the very first name you are given after birth. There is usually a boy version and a girl version of these names.

Join Arielah as she learns a beautiful part of her African heritage through the lens of her large family, in anticipation of a trip to see them in Ghana.
