Jessame doesn't mind being called Jessy, or Messy Jessy or Baddy Addy. Her full name is Jessame Aduke Olusanya. Sometimes she is messy and sometimes she is bad, but mostly she's just Jessame - a lively, imaginative, loving little girl to whom exciting things happen. Read about her adventures with the magical Grandpa Williams, Uncle Sharp who goes to sea and brings her back unusual presents from faraway places, and fun loving Aunt Gbee who comes to stay from Africa.
