The Book of Phoenix is a unique work of AfricanFuturism. A prequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award-winning novel, Who Fears Death, it features the rise of another of Nnedi Okorafor’s powerful, memorable, superhuman women.
A fiery spirit dances from the pages of the Great Book. She brings the aroma of scorched sand and ozone. She has a story to tell....
Phoenix was grown and raised among other genetic experiments in New York’s Tower 7. She is an “accelerated woman”—only two years old but with the body and mind of an adult, Phoenix’s abilities far exceed those of a normal human. Still innocent and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she is content living in her room speed reading e-books, running on her treadmill, and basking in the love of Saeed, another biologically altered human of Tower 7.
Then one evening, Saeed witnesses something so terrible that he takes his own life. Devastated by his death and Tower 7’s refusal to answer her questions, Phoenix finally begins to realize that her home is really her prison, and she becomes desperate to escape.
But Phoenix’s escape, and her destruction of Tower 7, is just the beginning of her story. Before her story ends, Phoenix will travel from the United States to Africa and back, changing the entire course of humanity’s future.

Sturdy and easy to open flaps
Format: Board book
Buy the book! Purchased this a second time as our toddler loves it so much and our first copy was very loved. The board book pages are thick and sturdy holding up well to impulsive throwing. Flaps are easy for little fingers to open and this is hands down our 18mo olds favorite book and she runs over with it daily to "read". Lots of fun things to point to to practice speech as well.

Brushes up bedtime routine!
Style: Sonic Toothbrush with 2 Heads
My kids have very weak enamel with tons of cavities. It would take us forever to get their teeth clean because I use the plaque dye tablets to make sure their teeth are actually clean after brushing. Because of this we would spend up to half an hour brushing teeth over and over and over again. With this toothbrush the kids love it first off. Then it has a timer on it so the kids know when they are done brushing and it works great. The kids will use it once and then I will spot check their teeth while we're flossing and I will take a regular toothbrush and hit any areas that this missed. And those are only a couple small areas. Not only does it work great the kids love it and it saves me so much time and headache at night when everybody should be in bed!
