5. Provencal, Francis & McNamara, Catherine (2001). A child's day in a ghanaian city. New York: Benchmark Books.

Abstract:
Nii Kwei gets up with the sun, and at half past five he's already hard at work, chasing the chickens and sweeping the compound clean with his straw broom. As the city beings to wake up, he washes, changes into his school uniform, and sits down to chocolate milk and sandwiches for breakfast. Photographs capture the lively rhythms of West African daily life, and this delightful dawn-to-dusk journal will encourage young readers, wherever they live, to compare and contrast Nii Kwei's day with their own.
