Yetunde is a series of stories that follows the every day life of 6 month old Yetunde as she's narrated African folktales by her mom Iya Yetunde whilst growing up in London. Iya Yetunde also tries to improve her Yoruba speaking ability, so we see a nice mish mash of Yoruba and English. The folktales are of West African origin. The book has been written in such a way that it can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike. Adults can read the book for their own enjoyment or as bedtime stories for kids ages 3-8 (even younger). Older children can read the book by themselves as it is also a suitable kids books ages 9-12. Each story has a moral lesson with colourful illustrations for early readers

A CHILDREN'S BOOK FOR EVERYONE - EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN By Amazon Customer This is so much more than just a ‘children’s book.’ It is an excellent look into both the mind and life of a baby. Yes, I wrote baby, and you need to read this book. It is well worth your time, and [now or later] your child’s time.The set-up: we are transported into a few days in the life of a baby, narrated by the baby herself. No, this is not like the “Look Who’s Talking” movies. This story is fun and realistic; the baby’s narration is age appropriate but interesting to adults; and the events depicted have probably occurred in every person’s life, when he or she was a child.To add to the story’s attraction to children [and also to adults], each chapter includes an interesting parable. This does not detract from the flow of the narration; in fact, these simple tales add to the story’s value to young children and provide an excellent segue from one chapter to the next.To add to the realism, interspersed with the mostly English narration, the baby’s mother speaks the Yoruba language [an African language]. Personally, I do not know this language, and did not try to translate it. However, translating it is not important. The use of the language is minimal; its use does not affect the flow or meaning of the narration; and although people who can read the language may receive additional meanings from the story, this is not a detriment to non-speakers. Instead, its sparse use adds authenticity to the story, and adds a flavor not normally found in children’s books.All in all, this book is an excellent read for children, whether read to a child by an adult or read by the child himself/herself. And in a weird but good way, it’s also an excellent treatise for adults on what a baby might be thinking. Believe it or now, you’ll probably be a better parent for reading this story.Five stars. Read it to your child, now. If you don’t have a child, read it for yourself.

I wish there had been more illustrations to go along with the story but the lack of them did not take away from the quality of the book. The only thing I struggled with is the language used in parts of the book, it wasn't translated so I wasn't sure what the character was saying. However the story flows enough that you can get the main idea of what the character were saying without knowing the exact words. Fun and cute and an easy read, I would defiantly recommend :)Ana Elise Meyer
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A must read for families with young children By Maureen An engaging children's book from the perspective of a baby named Yetunde. Each chapter is a day in the life of Yetunde and at the end of the chapter, her mother tells her a bedtime story with a moral to it. This was a fresh approach to the telling of life's first lessons. I especially enjoyed the baby's view on the everyday things we do, and found myself looking forward to the end of the chapter for the bedtime story. A very entertaining book that would make perfect bedtime story or a fun read for a young child. (read on Kindle Unlimited)
