A heartwarming picture book that encourages exploration, patience, and the joy of finding one’s true passion from the team behind Chichi and Didi Love Their Names.

Summer is here, and Chichi and Didi are off to piano class! But while Chichi plays beautifully, Didi has trouble finding her groove. Playing piano is boring—she wants to move!

With the help of her family, Didi goes on a quest to figure out which activity she’s perfectly designed and gifted to do. But what if she’s not good at anything?”

Inspired by the childhood experiences of real-life Nigerian American sisters Peace Amadi and Ndidi Amadi, Chichi and Didi Discover Their Gifts will teach readers:

  • how exploring different interests can help them understand their own likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses
  • to be patient with themselves and to understand that it’s okay if they don’t find their perfect fit right away
  • the joy and satisfaction that comes from discovering something you are passionate about

Hello there!

We are (Chinyere) Peace Amadi and Ndidi Amadi, otherwise known as the real-life Chichi and Didi!

We are so happy you have found our home online!

A few years ago, as a passion project, we sat down together to pen our stories about growing up first-generation, Nigerian-American.

But what once started as something we hoped to share with family and friends has blossomed into a multi-book series with our publishing friends at Waterbook & Multnomah, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

Delighted that our stories have resonated not only with other Nigerian families, but families from all over the world, we hope our tales of learning to love who we are, embrace our cultural stories and chase adventure always will inspire friends everywhere to do the same.

We hope you’ll stick around for the journey. Welcome to Chichi and Didi’s world!

Xoxo,
Peace & Ndidi
