The geographical and cultural distance between two cousins is
counteracted by the universalities of childhood and the dream of
uniting.
Olu lives in Lagos, Nigeria; his cousin, Greta, lives in Milan, Italy.
Though their lives may be different, their ways of living and playing
are quite similar. They both roller skate; they both skip down the
street; they both play with toy trains, trucks, and boats... and they
both dream of meeting and being together. Debut author-illustrator Diana
Ejaita references her own childhood and heritage to create a rich,
poignant, and authentic portrayal of Nigeria, of Italy, and of the unity
of childhood.
