Book Description
My African Grandma takes us on a journey with Londynn as she seeks to understand a culture that she is inherently a part of but has difficulty grasping. Yet, through her Grandma's loving embrace and her natural curiosity, Londynn's life is richer and fuller and infused with Nigerian culture in every moment spent with her Grandma. My African Grandma will tug at the heart strings of anyone who grew up as a third culture kid trying to grasp their ethnic culture of origin while growing up in another. To never lose sight of the former, it takes a village of elders: Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunties and Uncles to keep telling the stories of our past, teaching us our sacred languages and immersing us in cultural experiences that will be a detriment to the fullness of our identity if we let go. Though it's told through the lens of a Nigerian family, My African Grandma is a universal story about love, family and the importance of connecting to one's ancestral culture.
