Tonya Wood's Reviews > Oshún and Me: A Story of Love and Braids

I was able to listen to an ARC (audio) of the book Oshun and Me: A Story of Love and Braids by Adiba Nelson. The audio version of the book was narrated by the author herself and it was a joy to listen to. Without the pictures to follow along with, I had to rely not only on the author's writing, but also her narration to get a visual in my head. The story was well written and was narrated beautifully that I was able to see images in my head and imagine everything that was being described.
I loved how the story of Oshun was woven into the book and not only provided a backstory while Yadira's hair is being braided, but tied into her life, as she went to school the next morning. The sound effects that accompany the story and a wonderful addition and the author's note was a fantastic bonus.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
