By Adeleke Adeyemi, winner of the Nigeria Prize for Literature in 2011.
It is an African success story that the whole world can share! Banji's Story "...dramatizes the importance of growing food and returning to the earth, the sustainer of human life. A gifted storyteller, Adeleke Adeyemi explores the consciousness, emotions and actions of a child in a fascinating narrative distinguished by the simplicity of its themes, ideas, language and style. Indeed, this is a loveable and credible novel that endorses family cohesion and responsible parenting that would guide children to become imaginative, well-motivated and balanced individuals.” (Excerpt from Report of the Panel of Judges, The Nigeria Prize for Literature)
