Born in Nine Mile, Jamaica. Made for little hearts everywhere.
Nine Mile Babies was born from the love and special moments I shared with my grandmother, Cedella Marley Booker, during childhood summers in Nine Mile, Jamaica. What started as our story has grown into a world of books celebrating family, diverse cultures, and the places that shape us. Every story I share is to remind children to love who they are, celebrate what makes us unique, and remember that our stories matter. Forever love, Princess Booker

"I'm a fan of Nine Mile Babies and purchased their book on Jamaica. This book exceeded my expectations! It beautifully educates children about Barbados in an engaging way. I especially appreciated the questions at the back of the book and the pronunciation guide."
"A beautifully written children's book. Grandma what's that is an engaging book that allows you to go on the journey with the nine mile babies. It keeps you intrigued to want to know more as you read. I as an adult absolutely loved it, looking forward to more books."
"This is a charming story of exploration. The little ones are inquiring about the things they see along their journey with their grandma. It’s entertaining and easy for the children to follow. Great characters and picture two copies, my nephews and they loved it!"
