    The book “No Mirrors in my Nana's House” is a fiction book about a young African American girl who enjoys going to visit her Nana, whose house doesn't have any mirrors. The young girl's Nana zones in on the young girls inner beauty instead of focusing on external appearance. Since Nana's house doesn't have any mirrors, they can't see the reflection of the cracks in the wall or the clothes that don't fit. The granddaughter grows up seeing the world through her Nana's loving eyes, rather than in a coldly objective reflection. The symbolic meaning of mirrorsis a clear view of oneself causing people to think about themselves and analyze feelings and actions.     Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell, the book’s author, is best known as a member of Sweet Honey in the Rock, an a capella quintet of African American women who perform to acclaim across the country and around the world. "No Mirrors in My Nana's House" is one of a number of her compositions performed and recorded by the group that she transformed in her first book for children. Barnwell, who has a PhD (1975) in speech pathology from the University of Pittsburgh, and also earned a Master of Science in Public health, from Howard University in 1981, informs us that in Africa "Nana" refers to a respected leader or teacher, and also that no mirrors are allowed during initiation ceremonies in Africa.
