Makayla Malaka, a young singer who debuted in the music industry in 2019, has reached yet another milestone with the release of her first book, ‘The African Princess,’ on Children’s Day in Nigeria.
The book is a magnificent tale of hope, love, courage, and the value of the girl child in a male-dominated society, and it was adapted from her song, ‘African Princess,’ from her second studio album.
Makayla collaborates on this project with Sope Martins, a seasoned and critically acclaimed children’s novelist, to present this fascinating narrative that has garnered positive reviews from other authors and media figures who were fortunate enough to get pre-release copies of the book.
According to her “I personally found it captivating and well rounded. Kudos to Matthais Aragbada for the beautiful illustrations. The book is a must read for anyone who loves a bit of fantasy and suspense. You can get a copy of the book at selected bookstores in Nigeria, Amazon Kindle and audiobook platforms worldwide, a great feat for a nine-year-old from Nigeria”.
The book will be delivered to school libraries around the country, according to Makayla’s team.
Makayla Makayla’s third studio album, ‘Ten,’ will be released on June 10th, in honor of her tenth birthday.
