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.

This tender story explores compassion, patience, and the power of family ties. A gentle reminder for children that even in our hardest moments, love and faith can bring light back into our lives.





Degmo Gedi is of Somali descent and has lived in Toronto, Ontario, since the age of nine. As a child, Degmo could always be found either reading, listening to, or telling colorful tales. These childhood memories inspired her to write Ayeyo's Blues, her debut children’s picture book. A curriculum leader and teacher for over fifteen years, Degmo's mission is to depict positive stories of Muslim families filled with humor, love, and family connections.

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!
