RICHY

What kind of girl will you become when nobody is watching?
Richy is a bright, lively twelve-year-old girl growing up in a loving Nigerian home. She has caring parents, a wise grandmother, good friends, and plenty of opportunities to learn-but growing up well is not always easy.
Richy loves her family, but she would rather avoid chores. She is confident in school, until overconfidence costs her a painful mathematics score. She struggles with jealousy when her best friend succeeds. She faces pressure from older children, learns to say no to bad influence, and discovers that even small secrets can become serious problems.
Then, when money disappears at school and Richy is wrongly suspected, she must hold on to the values her family has taught her.
Through mistakes, apologies, disappointments, difficult choices, and second chances, Richy slowly discovers that good character is not about being perfect. It is about being honest when the truth is uncomfortable, accepting correction, taking responsibility, choosing good friends, and finding the courage to try again after failure.
RICHY: A Girl Worth Becoming is a warm, engaging story about the everyday experiences that shape a child's character. Set against the familiar rhythms of family life and school in Nigeria, it explores honesty, responsibility, discipline, friendship, self-control, kindness, resilience, and the powerful role parents and teachers play in raising children.
This is more than a story about a girl growing up.
It is a story about who she is becoming.
Perfect for parents, teachers, grandparents, and young readers who believe that the greatest success is not simply what a child achieves, but the kind of person she becomes.
