Description
A warm and funny picture book about the popular West African dish, from Nigerian author Onyinye Iwu, that shows how things work out best when you do them together.

Jollof is a a delicious, spicy rice, and vegetable dish originating in West Africa and now known and enjoyed world-wide. It's the favorite food of best friends Kwame and Kamsi. But who makes the best Jollof? "My mom," says Kwame. "No, my mom," says Kamsi.

The two boys have a great idea. "Let's each make our own and see whose is really best!" Carefully they pick their ingredients. But Kwame likes playing tricks on Kamsi, and Kamsi likes playing tricks on Kwame. Kamsi secretly adds nettles to Kwame's Jollof, and Kwame pops a caterpillar into Kamsi's. Puddle water, fiery ants and old dry chewing gum follow. What a mess! They've both made the worst Jollofs ever.

But in the kitchen their moms are sharing the preparation of a real Jollof rice dish, and call the two sad boys in to help. What a difference! "Alone we make good Jollof," say the moms. "But together we make the best Jollof ever." And the boys agree-it's best to work together (but sometimes they still play tricks on each other).
