ZHAKANAKA: The Word

ZHAKANAKA: The Word A little girl named Alex is troubled and discouraged by the cruel treatment of her peers. An insightful teacher, Mr. Jesse (Jesus), comes to her aid, sharing knowledge, history and a higher perspective that strengthens her to continue confidently on her way. He leaves her with a single word of encouragement: "Zhakanaka".

This is the story of Zhakanaka - The Word ($26.95), the first of a three-book children's series (FOR ALL AGES), written by Sheree Brown; her husband, Deacon Douglass Johnson, Sr. and Pixote Hunt, and illustrated by Pixote Hunt. Zhakanaka - The Word, is accompanied by a musical and delightfully visual DVD narrated by Sheree Brown and co-produced by Sheree along with Celeste Johnson of CJ Artworks. Recently the book was presented at the 2010 NCEA Convention. Book Details
