It is not every day that a mother and her daughter collaborate to produce a book. But Njeri Wangari and her daughter, Naomi Nyawira, recently achieved this rare feat, when they launched My Colouring Book of Rhymes last Saturday.

Njeri wrote the rhymes, while Nyawira created the illustrations. Njeri is no stranger to the Kenyan literary scene, where she is known as the Kenyan Poet. She is a spoken word artist, poet and author.
