The author explained that the book would be out in the summer and was now available to pre-order.

 According to a blog post, A print for Ami, “is a celebration of the fashion creatives who make us feel and look our best.” 

“This children’s book was inspired by my grandmother who owned a tailor shop. She was a seamstress for over four decades. I wrote this book to celebrate the small-scale fashion creatives that keep Africa’s textile and fashion heritage alive. I am excited for the world to read A print for Ami, ” she told Swit Salone. 

“Like my last book Adama Loves Akara I wanted to tell a story with an African girl as the main character. It’s important that African children see girls and women as leaders in first reader books to normalize women as the leaders and doers they already are. 

We’re definitely adding this to our reading list for all the kids in the family.
