★ "A loving embrace of faith and family and a wonderful window into Nigerian culture" - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

I'll see you in Ijebu...
Where my Iya Akin is
Her cooking, her jokes that make me giggle
Ijebu, where love lives

Olu loves visiting her extended family in the countryside town of Ijebu, especially when she gets to celebrate Eid al-Adha with them. And this year is extra special, because Olu is finally old enough to help cook the Eid feast. She leaves the vibrant, bustling city of Lagos behind for green Ijebu, and finally arrives to see her Baba waiting for her with a warm hug.

Olu's week in Ijebu is filled with games with cousins, time in the kitchen with her aunties, and finally a feast that leaves their bellies full. In a celebration of Nigerian food and tradition, I'll See You in Ijebu captures the joy of special moments spent with family.
  • Relatable for kids who travel to see extended family for the holidays.
  • Illustrates a multi-faith family who celebrates both Catholic and Muslim holidays.
  • Endnotes include information about Eid-al-Adha and the food, fashion, and faiths in Nigeria (including a recipe for Nigerian puff puff!)
