Ehozogie Mary Edo Brown
Author Ehozogie Mary Edo Brown will be joining us for Storytime as a guest reader! Families are welcome to bring a blanket to sit on during story time. Using different types of trees Ekpen and Papa encounter as a metaphor, this story explores diverse textures, colors, and styles of human hair, celebrating the rich mix of diversity. Ehizogie’s dedication to education extends beyond the classroom, as she actively collaborates with various organizations and schools to foster a love of learning. Her work has been featured on local TV stations, and she continues to inspire and educate communities wherever she goes.”
