A Gift for Yole

by Wayétu Moore

Overview

One Moore Book provides culturally sensitive and educational stories that highlight the lives of children of countries with significantly low literacy rates. One Moore Book provides literature for children whose narratives are largely missing from the children's book publishing industry.

The books will also serve as a key to unknown people and places for all kids who do not have access to cultures outside of their own.

A Gift for Yole tells the story of young Kona, who is looking for a gift for her favorite friend Yole. Kona looks all over Monrovia with her mother to find a gift for her friend, who she is convinced will only like her gift if it is from America. Luckily during her exploration of the beautiful city, Kona realizes otherwise.
