[Marcelle Mateki Akita @matekiwrites]

Twelve months ago I was commissioned to write two children's books for Hodder Education's Rising Stars Reading Planet. It came at a time of deep pain and sorrow. I said yes and chose to write from a place of joy. Now here they are, my joy beaming back at me. I'm so proud of me ❤
