Sorry Canadians

Kedu Canadians, ndo (sorry) but we have to pull our books from Amazon.ca cause the cost of shipping is just hefty. We are not able to keep funding the large difference to make cheaper for our customers over there. We are however searching diligently for stockists. Know anyone that owns a gift shop? Book store? Or any store really and is willing to carry/sell our books for  commission? Please send us a message or DM us vis our social media handles!

Daalu!

Houston Strong

Unfortunately we had to cancel our last Oge Akwukwo Storytime session due to hurricane Harvey. Luckily, our personal property wasn’t damaged however, there are serious ruins in the city. We are doing our best to support the people around us… You should consider doing the same if you’re in Houston or any city/country where a natural disaster recently occurred. There has been quite a few this year :(.

The city is in rebuilding mode which means services like postage are being quite delayed. So please be extra patient with our packages and others originating from Houston. We are grateful for your orders and are working hard towards getting them out to the closest open post office!
