When he runs off to the market instead of sticking around for a reading lesson, he encounters a much-admired older boy secretly reading at a book stall, and then Amadi becomes intrigued by a storybook with pictures of a strange white creature that has a carrot for a nose. Unable to shake his questions about the snowman, Amadi discovers the vast world reading can open up—especially for an Igbo boy of Nigeria.
Katia Novet Saint-Lot was
born in Paris, France, to a Spanish mother and a French father. She has since
lived in the UK, the USA, Nigeria, and India, and has traveled to many places
around the world. She now lives in India with her husband and two daughters. A
literary translator by trade, she tries to find as much time as possible to
write the stories that her expatriate life and the experiences of her Third
Culture Kids (children who grow up in cultures different from those of their
parents) inspire in her. Dimitrea Tokunbo brings to life the day-to-day
experiences of life in Nigeria, where her father grew up. “I want to represent
the beauty of all children. I feel that growing up biracial, having a direct
connection to two different cultures in the American context, gives my art a
spirit and spark that speaks to the children who were overlooked when I was a
child.” Dimitrea’s children’s books include Sidewalk Chalk: Poems of the City,
Has Anybody Lost a Glove?, Together, and The Sound of Kwanzaa. Dimitrea lives
in New York City with her two daughters.
