Amadi's Snowman: A Story of Reading (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780884484400)

When he runs off to the market instead of sticking around for a reading lesson, he encounters a much-admired older boy secretly reading at a book stall, and then Amadi becomes intrigued by a storybook with pictures of a strange white creature that has a carrot for a nose. Unable to shake his questions about the snowman, Amadi discovers the vast world reading can open up--especially for an Igbo boy of Nigeria.
