Thank you for stopping by. My name is Tomi Adetayo. I am a teacher, lecturer, children’s picture book author, drummer and photographer. Let me tell you a little more about me.
I absolutely love early years education, and I have spent the last 16 years teaching and most recently lectured in early childhood education.
Before teaching, I was a graduate in Electrical Engineering from City St George’s, University of London.
To be honest, I didn’t really want to be an Engineer, it wasn’t my calling, so I embarked on another journey which has been the most rewarding thing I could have ever done: TEACHING!!!
I enrolled for a PGCE at Goldsmiths, University of London and later a Master’s Degree of Early Years Education at UCL Institute of Education, University College London.
My journey into childhood education deepened and I took a leap of faith by moving abroad. So far, I have taught in London (UK), Tabuk (Saudi Arabia), Salmiya (Kuwait), Abu Dhabi and Dubai (UAE).
Dele is a young boy with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.
Through rhythm and storytelling, Dele’s character gently opens children’s hearts to the realities some kids face, while helping them reflect on their own blessings. His story encourages gratitude, empathy, and an appreciation for friendship and kindness. Dele may not have much, but he teaches us that true richness lies in compassion, courage, and the choices we make every day.
