Author S.O.O.N introduces us to a young girl from Ghana named Yaa who travels from Kumasi city to Agogo village to visit her grandparents’ farm. Along the way, she observes many things about country life that are different from her own experiences in the city. Visiting with her grandfather includes a trip to the cocoa farm, where he shares his knowledge of the world around him. Yaa’s inquisitive nature leads Grandpa to share the belief that “everything around us comes from a source and that source can produce many things” (Me so akonnwa a me so dua).
Within the pages of her book, S.O.O.N has created a colorful picture book filled with examples of the vibrant life in Ghana’s countryside. Readers of all ages will enjoy this book for its rich depiction of Ghanaian culture and the loving relationship between Yaa and her grandfather. The theme of interdependence, beautifully encapsulated in the phrase “Me so akonnwa a me so dua,” will resonate with readers, teaching the importance of respect for nature and the connections between all things.
The charming narrative and its focus on family bonds make Me So Akonnwa A Me So Dua a delightful and educational read for children and adults alike.
