About the Story
Asake’s Magical Adventures celebrates the power of imagination through magical stories rooted in Africa’s landscapes, wildlife, and storytelling traditions.
Asake’s adventures with Ijapa, Ayékòótó, Baba, Basseti, Nubis, Igbin, and their many friends invite young readers to dream big, stay curious, and discover that every great adventure begins with imagination.
Every morning, Lemayian and his siblings walk across the Kenyan savanna to reach their school. Along the way, they encounter incredible wildlife—from towering giraffes and ancient crocodiles to speedy cheetahs and mighty elephants. As they journey through grasslands, swamps, and rocky cliffs, young readers will discover fascinating animals that call the savanna home. An exciting story filled with adventure, nature and discovery.
The story in this book has been inspired by the real life experience of many young boys and girls across the African savanna who journey through the wild each day for the chance to receive an education.
Set in the heart of London, this charming and humorous picture book celebrates curiosity, imagination, and the delightful ways children see the world differently.
Dinosaurs at St. James’s Park was inspired by an imaginative young boy named Ariyo. For many years I would take him to the park to watch the ducks, swans, geese, and pelicans by the lake and to play in the playground.
Like many children of his generation, Ariyo loved dinosaurs. Before long, he began to see the birds in the park as prehistoric creatures, and that wonderful imagination became the inspiration for this story.
My thanks also go to the illustrator, Akin, who — despite never having seen these London landmarks — has beautifully brought them to life in this book.
