Degmo Gedi

Softcover, 36 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches

Fatimah can’t wait for her grandmother, Ayeyo, to come live with them. She loves her colourful tales of Somali feasts, laughter with neighbours, and adventures from long ago.

But over time, Ayeyo’s stories fade, her plate sits full of uneaten food, and her days turn quiet.  

Determined to help, Fatimah sets out to chase away Ayeyo’s blues and, in the process, discovers the beauty of patience, empathy, and keeping family bonds strong.

Ayeyo’s Blue is a beautiful story about love, family, and finding happiness again. It shows how small acts of care can bring joy to the people we love. The illustrations are stunning, full of colour and emotion, bringing every page to life. I also love how the book celebrates Somali culture, from the language to the traditions. The glossary at the end is a great touch, helping readers understand Somali words in a fun way. This book is warm, meaningful, and beautifully made. As well as, that it’s a perfect read for anyone who loves stories about family and culture. Amazing Job!
