Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging Book cover type:Hardcover • 2023 YALSA Excellence in"Based on his own experiences as a first generation Ghanaian American growing up in New York City, chef and author Adjepongs debut picture book beautifully captures Kofis complicated feelings of in betweenness, seeing himself as not quite American enough and not quite Ghanaian enough, even as he tries to connect to his familys history. A recipe for jollof rice, the dish Kofi proudly shares with his class, is included at the end." BCCB, starred review
