🚨 NEW PRODUCT ALERT!! INTRODUCING - “NOEL.” A stunningly illustrated, rhyming story for children about a black boy's dream of becoming Santa Claus.

When Noel was asked to create his Christmas wish list, he only asked for one thing - to become Santa Claus. His dream was met with jeers and laughs from his classmates but despite all odds, this is a story of Noel succeeding in living out his dream!

A story for the ages, this book highlights what's possible when we expand our definition of who people can be. Noel's story is a story for anyone who has been told that because of their race, religion, gender, or neurodivergence, there are things they can't do. This universal tale is about more than the Christmas holiday. Children will be delighted by this heartwarming story. They will be inspired to see themselves and to know that they can do anything they set their minds to. Noel will quickly become a holiday favourite and serve as a constant reminder to future generations of kids to dream big!

One thing I really missed during the pandemic was being able to do in-person events. I know I’m not the only one who felt this way. Working with kids through my organization, Overture with the Arts (OWTA), and being a children’s book author involves a lot of interaction with kids, which I haven’t done in person for almost two years. Well, I’m happy to say that I was finally able to do an in-person event and I loved every minute of it! I was invited back to Indigo Pointe-Claire to do a book signing AND an in-store fundraiser for OWTA. Both events were a success and my heart is so full!! 💛 - Akilah

Something I really love about my job is being able to meet with kids and read them my books. Even though we’re still in the middle of a pandemic, I had the opportunity to do a virtual book reading for a group of elementary school students of my newest book, “Movers, Shakers, History Makers”. It was a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to doing many more "Meet the Author/ Book Readings" in the future! 💛💛
