Meet Freida Amenze Friday

By Doris Imahiyerobo

Freida Amenze Friday is starting at a brand-new school, and she's nervous. With a unique name, Nigerian parents, and homemade lunches that smell different from everyone else's, she worries she'll never fit in. But with a little courage, a lot of Puff-Puffs, and the support of her family, Freida discovers that being herself is the best way to belong.

This heartwarming picture book celebrates culture, identity, and the power of embracing what makes us unique. Inspired by the author's own childhood as a first-generation Nigerian-American, Freida's story encourages kids everywhere to be proud of who they are-because standing out can be the very thing that helps you fit in.
