Tino has published a well-reviewed book on architecture and environmental responsibility.
Chika has spearheaded an international fellowship for young female filmmakers.
Nellie is preparing for university, where she wants to study creative writing. She volunteers at community arts programs and has had her first short story published.
Iseul is passionate about wildlife conservation, and leads her school's environmental club. She can often be found with a notebook and magnifying glass in hand, observing the insects on the rooftop garden.
Baz enjoys building things with his father,
Tino, and shows an early knack for engineering. He's also learning to play the piano, guided by his love of music.
Turmeric lived to an astounding 17. Though it's been two years, the family still misses him. A portrait
Nellie painted of Turmeric is displayed proudly in the living room.
Polly has mellowed with age, but maintains an impish streak. Cinnamon is explosively energetic -
Iseul and
Baz are happy to spend long hours playing with him until he finally collapses, exhausted, late in the evening.
The family has recently adopted a turtle, who lives in a carefully designed habitat in their garden.
The biggest change, however, came recently.
Chika's younger sister and her daughter have moved in with the family, taking residence in one of the guest bedrooms.
Chika's sister is a freelance writer and editor whose messy divorce has left her in dire financial straits - her husband was Nigerian-American, and they lived in New
York, but she hadn't obtained American citizenship. Thus, she decided to start anew in Barcelona with her sister's family.
Her daughter is delighted by her cousins, especially
Baz, who builds her elaborate blanket forts. Despite the upheaval caused by her parents' messy divorce and her moving countries, she is a happy, extroverted child who loves drawing, dressing up, and listening to bedtime stories
Chika and her sister learnt in their childhoods.
