Nanou's Promise: A Journey Beyond the ABCs
Nanou wants to paint, just as Grandma Kaye does, with a painting feather. But Grandma says Nanou must go to school before learning to paint. Come on an adventure while Nanou learns her ABCs. You'll learn about Burkina Faso and the Gurunsi people of Tiébélé. This is the second book in the Nanou's Promise series.
This author-paper collage illustrated 32 page color children’s picture book is inspired by herARTS in Action's work in Burkina Faso for access to clean water, sanitation, and education in the village of Tiébélé. Since water and education are the story’s inspiration, 25 percent of profits from the sale of this book are donated to herARTS in Action for programming in Burkina Faso.

Nanou's Promise: A Journey Beyond Painting
Nanou wants to paint, just as Grandma Kaye does, with a painting feather. But Grandma says Nanou must go to school before learning to paint. "How can I go to school when I spend so much time hauling water?" Nanou wonders. In book one, she plots a way to get clean water close to home so that she has time to attend school and learn to paint with a feather, just like Grandma. The second book teaches you about Burkina Faso while Nanou learns her ABCs in school.
Here in book three, Nanou will finally paint with grandma, but there's2 a lot of art, culture, history, and more to learn along the way. It's not about painting only. Learn to count with Nanou while learning about Gourunsi painting in Tiébélé, Burkina Faso, West Africa.
