One of the most loved series I’ve created is the Mommy & Baby Z Market Adventures. This series teaches toddlers and preschoolers early concepts—colors, shapes, textures, counting—using real-life scenes at a fruit and vegetable market.
Every page features:
A loving Black Israelite mom in her beautiful outfit and head wrap
Baby Z discovering new foods and textures
Warm, vivid market scenes
Simple dialogue to build early vocabulary
Children learn concepts like:
Textures: “Smooth tomatoes,” “spiky pineapples,” “soft mangoes”
Math: counting peas, comparing big and small fruits
Colors: red, orange, green, yellow
Nature: where food comes from
This series was created because so many toddler books show families that don’t look like us. But Baby Z and Mommy are our community, learning in ways our little ones instantly recognize.
The market books bring everyday learning into the home—and parents love using them for read-aloud time, homeschooling, and bedtime bonding.
