A whole family set off to sell their luscious lemons at the market in Lagos. They leave before dawn with lamps in hand and loads on heads. They have quite an adventure ahead of them … over logs, on a leaky lorry, through lightning, past lions and leopards until eventually reaching Lagos. The city is bustling and loud – there are lots of legs to get lost between! – but they can finally sell their luscious lemons. Children will love sounding out the words in this playful, adventurous and vibrantly illustrated story set in West Africa.
Praise for B is for Baby:

"Who needs a whole alphabet when one letter can tell a story as entertaining as this one?" New York Times
