by Gachery L (Author), Jacob Mwachofi (Illustrator)
Gachery is an author with a passion for art and design. Her inspiration is drawn from the open blue skies, red soil, the vibrant colours of the markets, and the diverse community she grew up in.
History was passed down through storytelling and music in her community. She was inspired to transmute her beautiful childhood memories into stories. During the days before technology and innovation, many communities passed on history and told stories around the fireplace. Now, with the web, stories can be passed from generation to generation, and a broader audience can be reached.
Whether it was the playground, the market, or online, community is the driving force behind storytelling. Both modern and traditional communities have the same intentions, it is only the execution that differs. Her book is dedicated to children around the world, and she hopes that they will find a sense of community in the way they envision it.
