Dear Cousins Across the Pond [Large Print]

By Bimbo Akintokun

What if someone across the ocean still remembered you?

Dear Cousins Across the Pond is a lyrical picture book told as a heartfelt letter from an African child to their cousins - descendants of those taken during the transatlantic slave trade. Through gentle, poetic language and warm watercolor illustrations, it invites young readers into a conversation about loss, legacy, and love that reaches across oceans.

This story offers children ages 6-10 a tender introduction to African identity, colonization, and diaspora, encouraging pride in cultural roots while bridging African, Caribbean, and African-American experiences with care and hope.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, family read-alouds, and cultural education, Dear Cousins Across the Pond is both an invitation to remember and a celebration of connection.
