"Her books gave clear lessons without sounding like a lecture"
“Millicent Elekwachi’s books were a big part of my childhood. One thing I’ve taken from them is how they always had clear lessons without feeling like a lecture, and every book always had a lesson. I never really enjoyed reading growing up, I still don’t but I always found myself reading her books. I may not remember every story in detail, but I still remember the excitement I felt reading them.”
