Read a Baby Girl’s first picture-book! The heartwarming and inspirational story supports the next generation of baby people (and our inner baby people) to discover their power, champion themselves, and be unapologetically secure in who they are.

Kamara loves being super strong - it makes her feel fizzy and zappy! But her classmates and their negative words lead her to question herself and the confidence she has in her physical ability.

With sport's day and the Big Race looming, does Kamara have what it takes to reach the finish line?

“A BEAUTIFUL celebration of STRENGTH in all its forms.”

- Dapo Adeola

Edge Of Here

Enter a world very close to our own... One in which technology can allow you to explore an alternate love-life with a stranger. 

A world where you can experience the emotions of another person through a chip implanted in your brain. And one where you can view snippets of a distant relative's life with a little help from your DNA. 

But remember: these experiences will not be without consequences . . . 

In this stunning debut collection, Kelechi Okafor combines the ancient and the ultramodern to explore tales of contemporary Black womanhood, asking questions about the way we live now and offering a glimpse into our near future. 

Uplifting, thought-provoking, sometimes chilling, these are tales rooted in the recognisable, but not limited by the boundaries of our current reality-where truth can meet imagination and spirituality in unexpected ways. 

Allow yourself to be taken on a journey into worlds that are blazing with possibility, through stories that will lead you right up to the Edge of Here.
