The geographical and cultural distance between two cousins is counteracted by the universalities of childhood and the dream of uniting.

Olu lives in Lagos, Nigeria; his cousin, Greta, lives in Milan, Italy. Though their lives may be different, their ways of living and playing are quite similar. They both roller skate;

they both skip down the street; they both play with toy trains, trucks, and boats... and

they both dream of meeting and being together. Debut author-illustrator Diana Ejaita references her own childhood and heritage to create a rich, poignant, and authentic portrayal of Nigeria, of Italy, and of the unity of childhood.

童年的共性和统一的梦想弥合了两个表兄妹之间的地理和文化距离。

欧鲁生活在尼日利亚的拉各斯；他的表妹格蕾塔生活在意大利的米兰。虽然他们的生活可能不同，但他们的生活和娱乐方式却非常相似。他们都会滑旱冰，会在街上跳来跳去，会玩玩具火车、卡车和船……而且他们都期待着见面和在一起。首次亮相的作家兼插画家戴安娜·埃杰塔（Diana Ejaita）参考了她自己的童年，创造了一个丰富、深刻、真实的尼日利亚、意大利和统一的童年写照。
