I’m so happy to finally share that Remi: Where Is My School Bag? will be released on March 1st! This beautiful story is the first book in the Remi’s Everyday Adventures series — a collection of relatable stories that help children navigate everyday lessons about growing up.

Under the rain by @ayodeforge is a 10/10 book. It’s not everyday you read a book that explores the theme of fertility, especially abortion and some difficult conversations people tend to shy away from.

@EziomaKalu Thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️
