A diverse work, Monday's Ball exposes children to cultures underrepresented in classic children's books. Monday's Ball is set in Nigeria and features African characters and fish found in the Lagos Lagoon and Gulf of Guinea. Encouraging conversations about culture, and the exploration of new ones, Monday's Ball is a valuable cultural tool that exposes children to diversity and traditions that may be unfamiliar in their day-to-day lives.
"It is becoming more and more important for all kids to see positive representations of themselves in the books they read. I wanted to paint a picture of life on Lagos Lagoon and the people that live there. Hopefully, children around the world will be able to relate to Monday and his friends," said Segun O. Mosuro.
Monday's Ball is the first in a series of African-themed children's books planned for publication by Plasmoid9 Productions under their Plasmoid9 Kids imprint.
Monday's Ball is available online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as in eBook and Audiobook formats. The paperback currently retails for $8.99.
