In their escape from Boko Haram's reign of terror in Nigeria,
Tani's family's journey to the United States was nothing short of a
miracle. Then 8-year-old Tani started competing with his public
school in the ultra-exclusive chess clubs of New York City - and
winning. A true story of sacrificing everything for family and
living with nothing but hope. Tani Adewumi didn't know what Boko
Haram was or why they had threatened his family. All he knew was
that when his parents told the family was going to America, Tani
thought it was the start of a great adventure rather than an
escape. In truth, his family's journey to the United States was
nothing short of miraculous-and the miracles were just beginning.
Tani's father, Kayode, became a dishwasher and Uber driver while
Tani's mother, Oluwatoyin, cleaned buildings, while the family
lived in a homeless shelter. Eight-year-old Tani jumped into his
new life with courage and perseverance-and an unusual mind for
chess. After joining the chess club in his public school, Tani
practiced his game for hours in the evenings at the shelter. And
less than a year after he learned to play, Tani won the New York
State chess championship. In this incredible book, you'll discover:
An inspirational true story of perseverance, hard work and love An
eye-opening account of the threats from Boko Haram in Tani's
homeland of Nigeria The true power of the miracles each one of us
can do for one another A young boy with an aptitude for chess?
Absolutely. But if you ask Tani Adewumi, he will tell you he
believes in miracles and one happened to him and his family. This
story will inspire, delight, and challenge you to believe, too.
