< div> A little Nigerian girl describes her village and the way it is divided into < i> ogbos, < /i> or age groups. Each ogbo is assigned to a different task, from that of her brother& #8217; s, which helps sweep the village clean, to her grandfather& #8217; s, which spreads words of wisdom to everyone. Bright, framed color photos show daily life and special occasions, from the narrator& #8217; s father with his ogbo building a nursery school to her mother performing at a festival. This exciting and acclaimed photo-essay is based on the author& #8217; s own experiences growing up in a similar setting.< /div>
