My Review: 4 Stars!
This is a delightful tale told by baby Yetunde as her mother speaks to her about her grandmother. It is a tale in Yoruba praise poetry, a unique perspective of an interesting cultural story. The tale expounds on the strength of a mother's love for her children, a truth which spans cultures and time.
This is a short book but an interesting read. If you'd like to give a unique gift for Mother's Day, this would be an excellent one!
