Oma and the Prince
by Susan Ngozi Nwokedi
Genre: Fairytale 

Picture
Oma and the Prince is a unique African fairytale that follows the journey of Oma, a poor girl with a rare skin disease. Oma was ridiculed not only because of her skin, but because she aimed high. This fairytale encourages its readers to dream big and chase those dreams. It covers social topics such as bullying, self-advocacy, and diversity. Along with following their dreams, readers learn that the beauty that really matters is inner beauty.

Hey Bernie! It took me 13 years from start to publish. This is due to the nature of the book and the hand drawn pictures. I wanted to make sure it was done right. Of course, in between that time, life happens...got busy with grad school, film projects, etc.
