WATCH Maya and the children do it in their kitchen! You'll be doing this one before every meal, trust me! 🔉Listen to author Atinuke read an excerpt of “L is for Love”

My grandchildren - and their parents - especially my son-in-law, who is British-Nigerian!) love Atinuke’s books.

📚

“L is for Love” is about a family travelling into Lagos to sell lemons at the market. There is a lizard 🦎 lurking on each page, which Arinze was excited to bash.

We love this book. Your little one will too! Thank you Atinuke!
