Jordan Hill Books, the publishers of the books, announced the launch in a statement, stating that the event, which will have Kunle Kasunmu as host, Channels Book Club, Channels TV, as guest speaker, includes the unveiling of the Jordan Hill’s Learning Unleashed Magazine, an exciting and educational magazine put together by a team of young undergraduates as the editorial board, and with children as the major writing contributors.

Part of the statement reads: “Even though it appeared as an impossible reality in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, with the way it has upturned most of the world’s plans, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to deliver the books as promised.

“So, once again, this year, in celebration of our young writers’ achievement on their special day, Children’s Day, May 27, and as we have always done in the past three years, we would still be officially releasing the children’s books to the public, and COVID-19 and its attendant challenges were never going to change that.

“This year has given us a new style. For the first time, we would be having an online book launch in the virtual space, as we release the books as e-books on various e-book sales points, starting with Okadabooks.”

While Thelma Ilems, host of The On-Air Book Club, Inspiration FM, will review the book, the event will be hosted by Collins Teke of Nigeria Info FM.
