This right here is a ππππ πππππππππππ! π I absolutely adored how this book dove into African culture with such tenderness and genuine respect. The folktales woven in? Oh, they zapped me right back to my grandmother's knee, listening wide-eyed to her magical stories during our visits. Seriously, this book has nestled itself right into a special corner of my heart. It's not just the way the story unfolds so beautifully, but the way it gently nudged open memories of my dear dad, siblings, and my precious grandmother. β€οΈ
