Dear Cousins Across the Pond is a lyrical picture book told as a heartfelt letter from an African child to their cousins - descendants of those taken during the transatlantic slave trade. Through gentle, poetic language and warm watercolor illustrations, it invites young readers into a conversation about loss, legacy, and love that reaches across oceans.
This story offers children ages 6–10 a tender introduction to African identity, colonization, and diaspora, encouraging pride in cultural roots while bridging African, Caribbean, and African-American experiences with care and hope.
Perfect for classrooms, libraries, family read-alouds, and cultural education, Dear Cousins Across the Pond is both an invitation to remember and a celebration of connection.
Dear Cousins Across the Pond tells the story of a young African who learns about the descendants of those taken during the transatlantic slave trade - and writes them a tender letter.
What follows is a journey of remembrance, reconnection, and a message of hope for people across the African diaspora.
With poetic storytelling and warm watercolor illustrations, this book speaks to children aged 6–10 and the adults guiding them.
