Urenna Okoye
I started writing this book when I was seven, when I had just started second grade. I play soccer, just like the story in the book. I have two brothers. Ikenna is two years younger than me, and Izunna is four and a half years younger. I go to school at Beltsville Elementary in Maryland. I have lots of friends in second grade, and the best teachers in the world!
My parents are from Nigeria and speak Ibo. My dad goes to Africa a lot. I go to church at Bethel World Outreach in Silver Springs. I want to grow up to be an artist, a doctor and an author. I play the piano, and I run track with the Hummingbird Track Club.
