Chocolate On A Tree - Robert Peprah-Gyamfi

Based on the author's own childhood memories, Chocolate on a Tree tells the story of a young boy, Kofi Mensah, growing up in a rural village in 1960s Ghana. Through a beautifully told story, you learn all the facts about cocoa and how it is made into chocolate.

Delightful illustrations by the talented young Ghanaian artist, Jessica Otabil, bring the story vividly to life.

Whilst ostensibly a children's book, Chocolate on a Tree gives a rare insight into childhood in one of the last vestiges of British colonial rule in Africa. It also showcases family and moral values sadly long-since gone.

This is a book to enjoy by yourself, but also to share with your grandchildren.
