* To boost brain development, critical thinking, cognitive ability
Tomorrow, Saturday 19th October, children’s book author Sofiyyah Oyesanya-Sanni will unveil her latest work, Puzzle Your Way Through The Nigerian Heritage, at a special virtual launch event. The Nigerian-themed book, designed for puzzlers of age 5 and above, promises to offer a variety of challenges that not only entertain but also stimulate cognitive growth.
Puzzles have long been celebrated for their mental benefits, particularly in enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Research indicates that engaging in puzzles can improve memory, increase attention span, and promote creative thinking. As children and adults tackle these brain teasers, they develop important cognitive abilities, making puzzle-solving an enjoyable way to sharpen the mind while having fun, particularly as this book also revolves around the beautiful heritage of Nigeria, opening the mind of puzzlers to explore more about the rich culture of Africa’s most populous nation.

Sofiyyah Oyesanya-Sanni, an avid reader and child development enthusiast has dedicated the last few years of her career to curating and creating educational materials that inspire curiosity and learning. With a background in Biochemistry and rounding off her professional Masters in Managerial Psychology, Sofiyyah is passionate about ensuring that children consume the right contents that aid their all-round development. Her passion for books was cultivated from childhood and she has since transformed that love into successfully publishing her debut “No Book Day” that was released in 2020. She is currently working on her next project that promises to be even more exciting.
In Puzzle Your Way Through The Nigerian Heritage, Sofiyyah offers a diverse range of Nigerian-themed subjects of crosswords, crafted to engage and enhance cognitive skills. “I believe that puzzles can be a powerful tool for brain development,” Sofiyyah explains. “They provide a fun way for people to exercise their minds and build resilience in problem-solving.” The book is also designed to make a perfect addition to any family’s library.
Members of the public can join the launch which commences at 2:00pm WAT via this link and stand a chance of winning exciting prizes.
As interest in brain health and cognitive activities continues to grow, Sofiyyah’s work stands out as a valuable resource for anyone looking to boost their mental agility while enjoying the challenge of puzzles.
