2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
From the award-winning author of Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away, the story of a young boy who believes two things: that his Nigerian birth mother loves him like the world has never known love, and that he is a wizard Elijah, seven years old, is covered in scars and has a history of disruptive behavior. Taken away from his birth mother, a Nigerian immigrant in England, Elijah is moved from one foster parent to the next before finding a home with Nikki and her husband, Obi. Nikki believes that she and Obi are strong enough to accept Elijahs difficultiesand that being white will not affect her ability to raise a black son. They care deeply for Elijah and, in spite of his demons, he begins to settle into this loving family. But as Nikki and Obi learn more about their childs tragic past, they face challenges that threaten to rock the fragile peace theyve established, challenges that could prove disastrous.

My boss gave me a Visa gift card for Christmas and said “This is for whatever you‘d like!” And I said “Thank you for my book gift card!” 😬 Ordered from Better World Books - if you haven‘t heard of them, they sell used books to benefit literacy programs worldwide, and shopping is free for books that they have in their warehouses. You can pay extra to offset your carbon footprint from the shipping, and they sell new as well!

TrishB That‘s a great gift 🎁 6y
mabell Thanks for sharing! I'll look into them! 6y
iread2much The library I used to work for donated all of our books to them. They are a good organization. They also sell on amazon so you can select them from the used book options. What a nice gift from your boss! 6y
