That’s me, Mum! The Nigerian author who wrote a book about her children … and joined a publishing revolution

When Tonye Faloughi-Ekezie decided to write her first book it was for her own children and she printed just two copies. She had been trying to explain to her son why people came to the house to play with his sister, Simone, but not him. “There is a severe lack of local content that depicts the modern African family,” she says. “African children with special needs have very few entertainment or learning resources which have them represented in characters.”
