Dr. Ruth Obiarinze has loved reading since participating in reading contests at the local library as a child, so much so that she became an author herself! She recently introduced "The Overcomer Series," a collection of motivational children's books rooted in an inspiring depiction of Nigerian culture and family values.
The first book in the series, "Amara's Big Scary Race," teaches children lessons on perseverance and how to move forward when they meet a fork in the road. In this book, Amara has trained all summer long for a big race. Due to her hard work, she feels assured of her success. However, an unforeseen incident makes Amara realize how crucial perseverance is to achieving her objectives. When Amara encounters a setback, she takes the loss hard but never gives up. Her relentless spirit and determination to keep trying will inspire your little ones to do the same in their own lives.
The most recent book in the series, Emeka, the Great Footballer, is all about patience. In this book, Emeka has it all—He is intelligent, talented, and has a great group of friends. However, Emeka is impatient. When his aspirations to become the soccer team captain are postponed, Emeka gradually understands the importance of patience.
Dr. Obiarinze's tales captivate, connect with children, and impart essential life lessons early on.
