In 2017, my daughter was introduced to a structured approach to learning the Yoruba Language by Mr. Wole Atoyebi; her Yoruba Language Teacher from Riverbank School in Lagos, Nigeria. As a mother, I was eager to provide literature that will reinforce what she was learning in school but the more I searched for books that would excite her like the English books she read, the more disappointed I was.

 while I knew what I wanted for her in a Yoruba book, I was not quite sure of how to go about putting it in a book but continued to research English literature she enjoyed reading, making mental notes of what I liked and could possibly include in a Yoruba Language book for children. Mirroring their everyday experiences and my childhood memories provided the right platform for a book(s) children could relate to(or identify with) while reviewing Yoruba vocabulary they already know, and quickly grasp new ones.

In 2022, OCubeBooks Inc. was incorporated to create memories through publishing Yoruba books a Nigerian child can easily relate to while learning to speak, read, write Yoruba, and appreciate the beauty and richness of the Yoruba culture and language.
