Praise for Iyanu: Child of Wonder Library Edition Volume 1

“Our mission is and always has been about empowering African creatives and storytelling while bringing both to a global audience.”—Roye Okupe, YouNeek Studios founder

“It’s one of my proudest achievements—coming up with this young adult title that features a very young teenage girl doing big things, and having a female heroine that, really, anyone can identify with.”—Roye Okupe, YouNeek Studios founder

“Okupe has clearly demonstrated a range of writing styles, whilst keeping the idea of African culture and history alive. By having the proponent as a child, Okupe allows for a simpler worldview to contrast the more political aspects.”—Comic Crusaders
