Banni's Summer With Kah and Doh

Seven-year-old Banni has always called Germany home. But when Mummy and Daddy announce a summer journey to Bali Nyonga, Cameroon, she begins to wonder: Can a child belong to more than one place?

Travel with Banni, her little brother Duna, and their family as they journey by train and airplane from Germany through Paris and Douala to the green hills of Cameroon. Waiting there are Kah and Doh-Grandma and Grandpa in the Mungaka language-ready to welcome them with warm hugs, family stories, traditional foods, village adventures, and lessons that reach far beyond words.

During her unforgettable summer, Banni meets cousins Lehna and Nina, dances to village rhythms, learns Mungaka family words, discovers new foods, listens to Doh read the rain clouds, and experiences the joy of being surrounded by generations of family. When it is time to leave, she carries home something no suitcase can hold: a deeper understanding of her roots and the knowledge that love can make a home across oceans.

Banni's Summer With Kah and Doh is a warm, beautifully illustrated story celebrating grandparents, African heritage, cultural identity, family travel, language, and the special experience of children growing up between cultures.

Perfect for young readers, multicultural families, African diaspora families, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who believes a child can carry more than one home in their heart.
