Kofi and His Magic

A magic story.  Design of Maya Angelou’s acclaimed story of a Kofi, a seven-year-old West African boy who learns how to weave by wiggling strings tied to his toes, “a little like riding a bicycle.”

Using this technique, Kofi and his and his friends create the beautifully colored Kente cloth for which his town, Bonwire, is famous throughout the world.

Kofi is not only a weaver, though; he is also a magician.
