From the time he wakes up until the time he goes to sleep, Yaya is constantly on the move. Everyone knows Yaya, and everyone calls out to him as he runs from place to place. Follow this energetic boy through a typical day in a West African village as he gathers firewood, picks mangos, fashions a toy from a tire, chases a monkey, and joins a drum and dance celebration. Colorful illustrations follow Yaya as he weaves through the community helping his family, following his curiosity, stopping for a bite and then running off to chase whatever has caught his interest. Side by side translations support bilingual readers, and a detailed bilingual glossary supports vocabulary development.

Durga Yael Bernhard is the author/illustrator of numerous award-winning picture books, including Trouble (a Ready Set Go book), While You Are Sleeping: A Lift-the-Flap Book of Time Around the World, A Ride On Mother's Back, and five other multicultural titles that invite young readers to discover diverse people and cultures.

Open Hearts Big Dreams Ready Set Go (OHBD-RSG) Books were created to help increase the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details. Profits from book sales are used to create, print, and distribute more OHBD-RSG books to kids in Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country. Ethiopia's population has a high percentage of children ages 0-14. Only a small percentage attend pre-school or kindergarten, and the adult literacy rate is around 50%.
