Arábìnrin ni wá uses a combination of some of the everyday words in the Yoruba Language, a medley of Yoruba rhymes, and folktale songs to provide an enjoyable entry point for learning to speak and read in Yoruba.

It is the first of a three-part series on Siblings which will gradually introduce and repeat some keywords in the Yoruba vocabulary and build confidence in children as they recognize these words and their meanings.

The book is largely written in the Yoruba Language with references to Keywords in both English and Yoruba making it an easy read and a great teaching tool.

Olamide Osho is the author of Arábìnrin ni wá. The first of a picture book in the Siblings Series. Olamide became an author on her journey to teach her daughters how to speak and read the Yoruba Language. Mirroring their everyday experiences provided the right platform for a book they could relate to, digest old Yoruba vocabulary, and quickly grasp new ones.
