Looking Yoruba kids book recommendations

I’m looking for books written in Yoruba for my child. The age range is open—could be infant, toddler, or elementary age. Either bilingual or Yoruba only books are fine. Reviews for some books I saw say the tones are incorrect. Preferably, the book should use correct Yoruba grammar. So far I have found the storybooks There’s Rice at Home by Mayowa Precious Agbabiaka and the Tomi books by Abimbola Anifowoshe. They seem good, but I would love more options. Thank you.

Secret lives of Baba Segi’s wives…

It really irked me that baba Segi never knew what/who was responsible for Segi’s death. Did the doctor not also tell him she was poisoned? Why didn’t he investigate the poisoning? Did he really think palm wine was the cause of her illness?
I doubt he would have let Iya Segi and Iya Femi stay after finding out what they did!
