About The Book
Adunni Dares to Dream is the true tale of a poor African girl who just wanted to go to school. Although she was a part of a very hardworking family, Adunni just could not have the finer things in life, like school, books, & literacy. In her culture, girls were just expected to look pretty, get married and have children. But Adunni wished for something more.
As Adunni dares to dream , she inspires many others to dream too, including a handsome young man who couldn't stop dreaming about her! So Adunni has choices to make. Does she give in to her society's expectations? Does she chose the status quo? What are Adunni's dreams and where do her dreams take her?
Excerpt
Whenever Adunni brought up the idea of school, somehow Mama found a way to end it. Despite the fact that she was illiterate, Mama was sharp, hardworking and very resourceful with money. Mama had married young, as was common in the culture, and she started to bear children as a teenager. It was unfortunate, however, that she experienced the loss of many of those children during childbirth. Only Adunni and her sister had survived, and Adunni wondered often about what she could have done to save those who hadn't made it. Adunni was tearful as she remembered how her mother had nearly died last year during childbirth. Was every girl expected to get married and have children, even if it killed her? Adunni didn’t want to be like other girls: she wanted to be great! Adunni believed that to be great, she must be smart and be able to read, and learn great things.

My Review

Adunni Dares to Dream is the inspiring story of a young girl who wants nothing more than to attend school and even when facing countless setbacks Adunni never gives up on her dream.

Each morning when Adunni's mother wakes her Adunni expresses her desire for attending school and each time her heartbroken mother explains that they don't have the money and need Adunni's help around the house and in caring for her younger sister. Saddened, but not defeated, Adunni continues to pray that God will allow her dream to come true. Will God answer her prayers?

This is such an amazing and uplifting story. Adunni's unbreakable faith is an inspiration and instills in readers that, no matter what challenges lie ahead, all we need to do is dare to dream and let God do the rest. 


Adunni Dares to Dream is well written with short chapters and illustrations which will keep readers engaged. I highly recommend picking up a copy.
