Summary:

In this educational paper doll collection, Yuko Green has scrupulously researched and rendered 32 traditional African tribal costumes for two charming dolls. The diminutive Simba can be dressed in the brightly colored costumes of a Swazi warrior, a Zulu dancer, or a Senegal village sorcerer, while wide-eyed Neema is ready to model garments worn by an Ndebele woman of Zimbabwe, a Herero woman of Botswana or a Samboru woman of Kenya.
