The Adventures Of Yaya, A gift of culture, history and language

Two creatives and entrepreneurs, Tico Armand and Angie Bell based out of Miami Florida are launching “The Adventures of Yaya,” a children’s book set to become a child’s favorite and a staple in every home.

The book is inspired by the ability to exercise their talents as poets to dance with words that will shed light on the history, cultivate the culture and teach the official language of the Haitian people, Creole. Excited to craft literature that is untampered and stories told through their lens, the duo 12 book series is sure to be loved by readers both young and old.

“It’s an investment in a child’s cognitive development, the inclusion of diverse beliefs and identity recognition so they can leverage education and learning. A gift of vision to not only bring awareness but shape our narrative as Haitian Americans” shares Tico Armand.

Illustrated by local Haitian artist Bousiko, “The Adventures of Yaya,” is written in English and Haitian Creole. This trio of passion-driven creatives has given birth to a movement that is sure to be a driven force in understanding and being captivated by the first independent black republic in the Western Hemisphere. The first of the 12 book series focused on Yaya and her family’s Sunday tradition, Soup Joumou at Nana Pola’s backyard. The adventures don’t stop there, actually, that’s where it begins and you are sure to go on an endless journey with Yaya.

“We wanted to give girls and boys of all ages and backgrounds a piece of history while sharing Yaya’s curiosity to explore and experience new things. The best part of each storyline is that they are relatable to all of us,” explains Angie Bell.
