The Accent app is an adaptation of the story which is available in paperback, video and audiobook. See below previews from its readers:
"As a parent to children in a multi-cultural environment I found this story incredibly enlightening. I've never thought about explaining accents in the way this story does, so straightforward yet so effective. My daughters resonated with the story as their names are also often mispronounced and now they have a clearer understanding of why that is." - Alexandra
"The Accent book transcends the boundaries of a mere narrative to become a vital tool for parents and educators alike. It encourages discussions on diversity, empathy, and effective communication, preparing children to navigate similar situations with grace. This book is not only a compelling read for young readers but also acts as a conversation catalyst about appreciating and embracing the rich tapestry of global cultures..." - Fikayo
"A compelling story about respect, understanding, the value of diversity, and the importance of clear and compassionate communication for guidance, instruction, and conflict resolution." - Olumide A
"This book is a great resource to explain to children the reasons other children from different countries speak or pronounce words as they do. It would be an excellent story to read when a new student from another country enters the classroom or moves to a new neighbourhood. The two characters are fun and vibrant and the storyline is realistic! I highly recommend this beautiful book." - Doreen P
"Each school should have this awesome book included in their recommended reading to help children understand different cultures. Great read" - Bumble B
"Adebayo has taken an easily trivialised topic and treated it with such humility and depth; the result is this incredibly enjoyable and heart-warming book. It's a beautiful story that children and parents alike would love - I and my toddler certainly did." - Fibre
"Quite interesting and topical a book. Written explicitly with the reader’s interest in mind. It’s very captivating and I enjoyed its contents, presentation and the graphics.
I strongly recommend this book particularly to anyone who has got a child in that age group or is new to a different country from their origin. Also, to anyone who’s a broad reader, story teller and children’s teacher. I hope ‘The Accent’ gets the recognition it deserves!" - Olalekan F
