A children's book based on personal experience

My Mama Loves Me

Your little mtoto will listen, laugh and learn as young Lily-Rose shares her wide-eyed first adventure with her mommy in Kenya. Life is not exactly as she knows it back home in Canada-in this new place, there are elephants on the road, maize porridge, and no subways!-but there are still games, songs, baths, and most importantly, mamas who love their children.
