Bookworms: Sunne’s Gift by Ama Karikari Yawson

Join author Ama Karikari Yawson as she reads from her book, Sunne’s Gift: How Sunne Overcame Bullying to Reclaim God’s Gift. Sunne’s Gift’s message of self-love and bullying prevention is essential to helping young people recognize their self-worth.

Sunne is a magical being or “magbee”. God imbues Sunne with the power of the sun. Sunne’s straight-haired siblings, Earth, Watre, and Winde have unique powers of their own. When Sunne is teased and bullied by siblings because of Sunne’s natural, kinky, curly, “nappy” and spirally afro-textured hair, Sunne desperately tries to change. Join Sunne as Sunne learns that there is beauty and power in difference.
