This is a colouful cover I designed for my published Children's book, Happy Adventures of Adiyeh the Lagos Chicken. There are many chapters of homespun stories based on my observations and experiences with this quirky lot of fowls.

It is fully illustrated with educational tips about chickens as well as a guide to make a toy cart, which i made when I was a wee lil' gal. I had an enjoyable time writing and illustrating the book. 

The book is available worldwide on Amazon in paperback and e-book editions..

The finished cover!
