Welcome to Nani’s Bedtime Stories — a heartfelt children’s book series inspired by love, memory, and the magic of storytelling.

During the quiet and uncertain days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, our beloved mother — a gentle, creative soul — began filming bedtime stories for her grandchildren. She wrote each tale by hand, drawing from her vibrant childhood in Kenya, her deep connection to nature, and the values she held close. These stories, filled with fruit trees, chameleons, laughter, and wonder, quickly became cherished family treasures.

After her passing in January 2023, I felt a strong pull to preserve and share her words with the world. What began as a personal keepsake has grown into a 20-book series — a living tribute to a woman whose imagination still lights up the lives of her children and grandchildren.

This project is more than a collection of books. It’s a celebration of family, heritage, and the power of storytelling across generations. Through soft watercolor illustrations, Kenyan landscapes, and gentle bedtime tales, we invite you to discover the world of Nani, just as her grandchildren did.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We hope these stories bring joy, comfort, and connection — to your children, your families, and maybe even your own childhood memories.

With love,
Anjali
Daughter, storyteller, and proud keeper of Nani’s words.
