The 10-chapter book, formally launched last Sunday, June 23, 2019, is a crisscross narrative of fiction and non-fiction of the 1980’s primary and secondary school days of a middle class Nigerian girl child and her friends. Opara is the administrator of Holy Child College, Ikoyi, and a leadership member of Society of the Holy Child Jesus .
The author reveals that the book is a compendium of sort, as it has prose, drama, poetry and essays. She says: “I felt I needed to give back to the society what I have received especially from my many years of experience and also as an administrator. The more I encounter students facing challenges in school, the more I felt I should do something like this that will help them get over their challenges.
The book presenter, Prof. Prisca Anuforo, while speaking at the launch, says the book is a subtle but gripping tale of the salient issues in teaching and learning: reflection on experience, as well as the hidden curricula that facilitate the development of the pupils and students during their initial formative years.
“Chapter one focuses on setting the context and giving background details of the narrator and major experience that informs her passion for education. Chapter two brings reader into the secondary school years of the author and her friends and presents an environment of trust that enables students to reflect on significant experiences of childhood and explore how the experiences transforms their attitudes, emotions, relationships and beliefs.
