# Mama's Sleeping Scarf - Hardcover

by **Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie** (Author), **Joelle Avelino** (Illustrator)

**The first children's book from the best-selling author of _We Should All Be Feminists_ and _Americanah--_a tender story about a little girl's love for her mother's scarf, and the adventures she shares with it and her whole family**

Chino loves the scarf that her mama ties around her hair at night. But when Mama leaves for the day, what happens to her scarf? Chino takes it on endless adventures! Peeking through the colorful haze of the silky scarf, Chino and her toy bunny can look at her whole family as they go through their routines.

With stunning illustrations from Joelle Avelino, _Mama's Sleeping Scarf_ is a celebration of family, and a touching story about the everyday objects that remind us of the ones we love.
