“J’miah’s work passes on tradition, teaches language, and helps develop a love of storytelling. ANANSE Makes It So! is a lively, appealing book and consistent with who he really is—which is why we’ve continued to use him over the years for our library programs.” ~ Judy Strong, Youth Services Coordinator, Live Oak Public Libraries, Savannah, GA
