Arábìnrin ni wá uses a combination of some of the everyday words in the Yoruba Language, a medley of Yoruba rhymes, and folktale songs to provide an enjoyable entry point for learning to speak and read in Yoruba.It is the first of a three-part series on Siblings which will gradually introduce and repeat some keywords in the Yoruba vocabulary and build confidence in children as they recognize these words and their meanings.
Olamide Osho is the author of Arábìnrin ni wá (We are sisters). The first of a picture book in the Siblings Series. Olamide became an author on her journey to teach her daughters how to speak and read the Yoruba Language. She is focused on mirroring the everyday experiences of children in a book. This, she believes provides the right platform for a book any child can relate to, digest, and reinforce old Yoruba vocabulary they may already know, and quickly grasp new ones.
