At Nurture The Children International, we believe stories are more than just entertainment. They preserve heritage, share timeless wisdom, and have the power to do good. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our growing collection of African Folklore, inspired by the oral traditions of Nigeria’s three major tribes (WAZOBIA), written by an amazing team of Authors.
We’ve released two beautifully written short stories so far—each one filled with adventure, heart, and moral lessons—and the third instalment is coming soon!
Book One: How We Got the Groove on Our Backs
Have you ever wondered how the groove down your back came to be? This imaginative tale, told by the ancient voice of Ekweme Arinze from Odimili village, takes you on a journey involving a mischievous boy, a shapeshifting monster, and a mother’s fearless love.
Rich in cultural flavour, this story is a joy to read—ideal for all ages and makes a lovely gift. Available in paperback for under £6. Plus, every purchase helps provide essential support to children in need.
Book Two: The Prince, The Horse and The Bride
In the second tale of the series, we journey north to the kingdom of Quazara. Prince Buba, with his magical horse Jan-Doki, sets out to find the most beautiful bride in the land. But not all that glitters is gold… As Buba ventures into the mysterious land of Shiran, he discovers that true beauty lies deeper than appearances.
This enchanting story explores themes of wisdom, deception, and character—brought to life with vibrant language and Nigerian cultural charm.
Each purchase from this series supports our mission to feed, educate and protect vulnerable children across UK and Nigeria.
💛 Read with purpose. Give with love. 💛
Stay tuned – the third book in the trilogy is on the way!
