Jamela books

Jamela gets in trouble when she takes the expensive material intended for a new dress for Mama, parades it in the street, and allows it to become dirty and torn.

When Mama tells Jamela about her new job and a new place for them to live, Mama is excited but Jamela isn't. She likes so many things about the house they live in now--the squeaky front gate she swings on, the view from her window, the neighborhood sounds and smells. But on moving day Jamela is ready to help--although none of the grownups are prepared for the silly mixup caused by her "helping." The ensuing fun helps smooth the transition from old...

It is summer vacation and Jamela is bored, until her Aunt Beauty asks her to come and help her get her hair salon ready for a special client, who turns out to be "Afro-Idols" contestant Miss Bambi Chaka Chaka.
