High above the clouds, Nana hears it before the plane even lands - Boom, boom, ba-boom. From the Fetu Afahye parade in Cape Coast, where chiefs ride high under giant spinning umbrellas, to the busy Kpanglogo dancing of Accra's markets, all the way up the green Akuapem hills to Larteh, Nana and his cousin Esi follow the sound to the most special moment of his life yet - the day he receives his stool and becomes a chief.
Wrapped in white and gold, marked with sacred clay, and lifted onto the stool, Nana learns he is not becoming a chief by himself - his family, his cousin, the elders, and everyone who carried him there rise with him.
Nana Goes to Ghana: Road to Larteh is part of the Follow the Sound with Nana picture book collection, and the longest and most richly detailed book in the series, tracing real Fante, Ga, Dagbamba, and Akan traditions - Adinkra symbols, talking drums, sacred rhythms, and the true meaning of becoming a chief. This book includes a full pronunciation guide, an extensive vocabulary index, and a hands-on Make Your Own Adinkra Stamp activity.
