Embark on an exciting cultural adventure with the celebrated children's author Ada Ari.

This fantastic program will include lively book readings, spirited African dance sessions, and hands-on encounters with authentic artifacts.

Ada's magical touch ensures an immersive and educational experience, making learning a joy for young readers. Don't miss the chance for your kids to explore, learn, and be captivated by the wonders of African stories!

Meet Ada-Ari, a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in children's literature. Currently on a captivating tour of the African continent, Ada is bringing to life beloved African folktales through beautifully-illustrated children's picture books. These stories, akin to historical artifacts, reconnect us with a piece of Africa's legacy lost over centuries of migration. Inspired by her own upbringing in Nigeria, Ada's mission goes beyond preserving her cultural roots; it extends to providing children of all backgrounds with a universal connection to the rich tapestry of African heritage. Through entertaining storybooks, Ada-Ari aims to foster a deeper awareness and appreciation for African culture in the hearts and memories of future generations.
