PHILIP BEGHO
 #ReCoNNect #philpbeghobooks

Philip Begho the award wining Author.

As promised, lets talk about the must have books this Month. Its the time to inspire your minds and that of your families. The ReCoNNect movement is aimed to get everyone into reading. I noticed that parents and kids don't connect in any level, in this  i mean, they can not have a good conversation and the rate at which our kids vocabulary is deteriorating with short abbreviations like LOL, ASAP, XOXO, LMAO. It is a miracle they can spell well. i don't want to go into creative imagination and good values.    Most parents rather live their children's schools to teach them home values because they are super busy. Remember when Tale's by moonlight was a program back in the days we would run home on Sunday , just to hear what tortoise did or what girl or naughty boy got from disobedience. Christian values are not  been explained to our children How many parents can read mybook of bible stories and explain these to their kids.

PHILIP BEGHO, author of over one hundred books, is an award-winning Nigerian writer (playwright, screenwriter, children's writer, novelist, short story writer and poet). A lot of Philip's Begho's books have these old school morals and religious values  from Toju and Tosan adventures  based on popular bible stores to society ideas of moral and how it can affect kids. Ant boy series who loves to help people and must obey his parents. I can go on.  I love Jelly baby is  by far the most exciting novel with mystery that keeps you  on your sit.

 "I began writing at the age of eleven at King's College Lagos when materials were solicited for the school magazine and my short stories were accepted and published. Being able to break out from working as a lawyer to working as a writer has been a dream come true. The price has been steep, but the fulfillment of any dream sweetens the pain of its price."

The list of awards he has received include:
 Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) Drama Prize 1994
    Lire en Fête Short Story 1st Prize 2001[13]
    ANA/NDDC JP Clark-Bekederemo Prize for Drama 2002

    Isidore Okpewho Prose Prize 2003[2]
    ANA/Atiku Abubakar Prize for Children’s Literature 2005 
He also writes dramas for children,  adults and is a trained lawyer. Philip enjoys writing .. My favorites  of Philip's books include TitiRella, Jelly baby, Smallie series, Aunty Felicia series, the short story Crab story.  All his books are available online: Jumia  and Amazon only. The best part, it is extremely affordable. His books price range from N200- N1200.
