Ọmọ Yorùbá ni mí; My First Yoruba Alphabet Picture Book is a fun and thoughtful way for children to explore the Yorùbá language, one letter at a time.
This beautiful picture book introduces children to the rich and melodic world of the Yorùbá language starting from the basics; the alphabets; letter by letter, word by word.
With at least two carefully selected word examples for each letter - and in most cases even more - children are not only learning the building blocks of the Yorùbá language, but also engaging with words that reflect everyday life, culture, nature, and values.
Each page bursts with vibrant, child-friendly illustrations that help bring the words to life, making it easy and fun for children to make visual and verbal connections. From A for Ajá to Y for Yàrá, this book invites young readers to explore at least 79 meaningful Yorùbá words, while strengthening language skills, expanding vocabulary, and deepening cultural pride.
Whether you're a parent sharing your heritage, a teacher introducing students to West African languages, or a family looking to raise bilingual or multilingual children, Ọmọ Yorùbá ni mí is the perfect first step in a joyful language-learning journey. What Makes This Book Special:
