The Twins that Saved Izonbele
by Michael Afenfia
Description
Reminiscent of moonlight tales told by African aunties, mothers and grandmothers to children on special nights, The Twins That Saved Izonbele is a thrilling picture book about courage, language and the power of togetherness. It tells the story of how twin siblings, Beke-ere and Bekeowei took up the challenge of finding their lost language and reuniting their village after an unexpected event threatened to break the bond that held them together.
