A Doll For Mom

Content : The sky is blue. Sky blue. Like every day, Mom is preparing dinner. I am not the only one watching her every move. Mom has put her doll, named Doll, at the foot of the mango tree in our backyard. This doll is my big sister! Mommy told me...

This is the story of Mommy and her doll: Ama, my mommy, and Kwame, my daddy, got married, and then the seasons came and went. Every day, Mommy looked at her belly. Flat! She was so sad to wait for this child who was not coming. So, she went to the sculptor to get a doll, a beautiful doll. She wore it on her back and took good care of it. She talked to it, cuddled it. Then one day, what had to happen happened. Ama was expecting a child. It was me, Adjoa!
