Guest author visits Vestavia Hills Elementary West

Children’s author and storyteller Atinuke visited Vestavia Hills Elementary West on Jan. 20.

Atinuke, a native of Nigeria, shared her colorful books and stories with students and teachers during her visit. Some of her books include “Anna Hibiscus” and “No. 1 Car Spotter.”

She read several of her books to West students, sharing stories that focus on her characters’ adventures and family life in Africa.

Atinuke’s visit was made possible through collaboration between West’s PTO and Usborne Books & More, a division of the Educational Development Corporation.
