Amaka's New Home - Ulo Ohuru Amaka (A Bilingual Engish and Igbo Children's Book)

By Ms. Blessing Okafor

Help Your Child Embrace Change with Confidence and Culture.

Moving is a big life event. Help your child navigate the "big feelings" of a new beginning with this heartwarming, bilingual story.

In Amaka's New Home / Ulo Ọhụrụ Amaka, we follow Amaka as she transitions from the familiar to the unknown. Through her eyes, children learn that while moving can feel overwhelming-like "tummy somersaults"-it is also the start of a wonderful adventure.

This isn't just a story about moving houses; it's a story about finding comfort in your environment, the power of a simple "hello," and the joy of discovering a place that feels like yours.
