10-year-old Author rejoices as her books lands huge distribution deals in 250 stores across 5 cities

10-Year-Old Africa-American author and kidprenuer from Rochester, Michigan is happy that more than 250 Meijer stores in five states are carrying and selling her books.

One of the biggest and most rapidly expanding big box stores in the Midwest is Meijer.

In six months, I’ve sold over 4,000 books.

The average self-published author will sell 500 over 5 years.

Nyla details an African American girl’s transition from daycare to full-time school in the series’ first book, Nyla’s First Day of Kindergarten.

Readers may journey with Nyla and her friends on their first day of school, from getting to know new people and their teacher to having fun on the playground and reading new books!

Nyla is a fifth-grader at Hugger Elementary in Rochester, Michigan, in real life.

She enjoys using her hoverboard, going roller skating, and playing outside with pals when she isn’t writing or reading.
