Yoruba books are not written for entertainment alone — they serve as a compass for living. From the earliest oral traditions to the printed works of celebrated authors, the goal has always been to shape thinking and correct behavior. Yoruba narratives often feature a main character faced with moral challenges, and how they navigate those situations teaches readers what is right and wrong. This subtle but powerful method of education has helped preserve Yoruba morals in a rapidly changing world. As such, these books deserve a place not only on our shelves but in our everyday conversations.
