Ade's Special Outfit 

Program Overview:

Ade's Special Outfit is an authentic story and vibrant picture book that showcases the beautiful culture and clothing of the Yoruba people of West Africa as a young boy celebrates his birthday.

With Ade’s Special Outfit, families and educators of young children will welcome the opportunity to engage in a dialogue about Yoruba culture and promote cultural diversity at home and in the classroom. Understanding and embracing diversity at an early age through culturally and developmentally appropriate learning environments or support at home helps increase children's awareness, appreciation, and inclusion of beliefs and cultures other than their own, setting them up for greater personal and educational success.
