ZHAKANAKA: The Word
By Sheree Brown, Douglass Johnson, Sr., & Pixote Hunt
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.
