The Grossery Store
The Grossery Store is a book to inspire a health first, conscious movement, amongst kids from the African American and Hispanic communities. Ziyan wants to inform kids that their favorite snacks have a healthy option. She doesn’t believe kids should deprive themselves of treats, but she wants to highlight the use of a balance. In turn when this balance is achieved, it will lead to a healthier, fruitful, and active childhood. Her passion is standing up for the voiceless of society and being an advocate for change and the betterment of society.
Ziyan Zekira Ennis is a 13-year-old African American; 8th grade student from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ziyan has always loved writing and telling stories. Her parents pushed to cultivate her gift which has assisted her in releasing this thoughtful and informative book. Ziyan would tell you that she never thought a dream about her mother’s teachings would lead to this impactful children’s book, but here it is. This may be her first published book but certainly won’t be her last. She has many lessons and stories to share.
