By Atinuke
Illustrated by Lauren Tobia
A collection of four linked stories of family life set in modern west Africa.

- Racing Reads are engaging first novels for the newly independent reader. Each book is extensively illustrated and the story-per-chapter structure is ideal for building reading confidence.
