A beautifully articulated scene gracefully transitions through various aspects of life—ranging from exposure to the external world to the charm of the village that fosters the development of healthy family connections. It simultaneously addresses the inclination to distance oneself from one’s origins or home in the pursuit of personal fulfillment.

Amaka’s visit to Grandma in Nigeria is a heartwarming story that explores the bridge between two worlds. It is a real story of a young girl born in America to Nigerian parents who make it their mission to ensure their children speak their mother tongue—a goal that ultimately pays off in unexpected ways.
What I loved most about this book was the focus on young Amaka bonding with her grandmother and experiencing her African cultural heritage. The author beautifully illustrates how language is more than just words. Teaching our children born in diaspora their native language and culture portrays such a positive and amazing success.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in stories of cultural identity or immigrant family dynamics. It is a beautiful reminder that our roots are always a part of us, no matter where we are born.
Eke Daniel –

What a fun way to expose children to different cultures and languages. Thank you for all the hard work that was obviously invested in this.
