The Gli Books journal: writing for parents about reading habits, representation in children's books, and raising children with their heritage. Why children stop reading, and what actually brings them back. Most children do not lose the ability to read. They lose the reason. What changes when a child finds themselves inside the story. Books where Black children are the hero, not the sidekick. What to look for in picture books that put African and Black children at the centre of the story, and why the difference between representation and centring matters. Teaching a child about Ghana when you are raising them abroad. Practical ways diaspora parents pass on Ghanaian heritage to young children — day names, language, food, stories — without it feeling like a lesson.
