A Chicken Called Peri Peri oleh Sharon Abimbola Salu

A heartwarming picture book with bright, colorful illustrations, telling the story of friendship and sharing between African twin sisters and their pet chicken.

Deep in the heart of Lagos

in a beautiful house surrounded by trees

there lived a man, a woman, and their daughters.

Twin sisters, Doja and Remi are alike but very different.  They both love animals but want different pets.  Doja loves playing soccer and flying airplanes.  She wants a puppy.

Remi, on the other hand, loves making colorful art, painting portraits, drawing pictures, and playing the guitar.  She wants a pet canary.  

As their 7th birthday approaches, the girls learn important life lessons. 

When a chicken struts into their lives, the girls learn the value of friendship and the joy of sharing.  This book is the sequel to A Goat Called Curry, the heartwarming story of Mofolusho and her pet goat. 

The secondary characters in this picture book are the ingredients used to make Mozambique style Chicken Peri Peri, a popular African dish, with Portuguese origins.

Recommended for preschool kids, kindergarten kids, toddlers and readers of all ages.
