Produktbeschreibung

Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother is a stand alone book from Yetunde: The Life and Times of a Yoruba Girl in London (1). You may think of it as book 1.5, as in this book Yetunde is slightly older. It is a heart-warming story about the power of a mother's love; truly an ode to women and mothers all over the world. It is a captivating and emotional story that talks about love and loss! Follow Yetunde as she narrates her mother's ode to her grandmother. It is the Yoruba praise poetry for a mother known as Oriki Iya. Yetunde is also thrilled and delighted by the ancient Yoruba tale passed down to her by her mother about Labak¿, a young maiden who was kidnapped to be forced to marry a warrior king. Will Iya Labak¿ save her child in time? Is Iya Labak¿ a just a simple defenceless mother? Or . . . ? This is a short story dedicated to past, present and future mothers, a perfect Mother's day present! The book is mostly in English and all Yoruba words are translated, so everyone can enjoy the book fully.
