Femi Osewa is a designer in the architecture and creative field. He grew up in Nigerian and now calls London home.

You can find him on Twitter and Instagram @femmyextra

-------------------------

Although his career in architecture and creative design means he’s daily focused on modern life and the future, Femi’s inspiration for his range of children’s books is very much a tribute to his childhood experience.

As The Guardian newspaper noted in a profile feature of Femi: “Readers have often compared Osewa’s books to evergreen classics like the Drummer Boy, Footsteps in the Dark, The Boy Slave, and the likes. This comparison is apt because his works are among some of the few today that still bear that genuine authenticity and [are] void of sappy storytelling.”

While his own African heritage is an evident theme in most of his literary works, Femi’s books and the characters within make wonderful role models for children of all nationalities and creeds. Reader feedback has long confirmed Femi’s belief that core values such as love, friendship and determination make for valuable, lifelong lessons for young readers. Indeed, we also know via feedback from adults that it isn’t only children who actively enjoy and share in the positive, always enchanting fantasies, as brought to life in beautiful artwork throughout Femi’s books.

Explains Femi: “Many of the stories I grew up listening to cannot be found anywhere in print. If this trend is allowed to continue, sadly those stories would not be known to the coming generations.”

”Plus, perhaps one day I should at least try to save the reputation of the ‘villainous’ tortoise? Well…. I did only say ‘maybe’!”

    I ordered 2 of this book, and they were both delivered on time.

    The cover design and illustration is beautiful and the book well written.

    My daughter absolutely enjoyed it; and she found the title of the book really funny too! Which made reading it a lot easier as she was keen to find out what happened in the story

    While searching for children's books, I came across this. I love the colourful description and the use of simple words. The picture illustrations are stupendous. The book offers practical lessons to "little minds".
