Kittoe completed and released her fourth book, Ama and the Lost Key, with a Ghanaian theme. The book launch is set for Saturday, April 6, 2024, at the Croydon Library in London. The youngster plans to complete a physical block at Saint Paul’s Methodist Preparatory School.

When she donated to Saint Paul’s Methodist Preparatory School in Tema, Kittoe’s compassionate personality did not surprise her parents, Albert and Nozipho Kittoe.

Her e-library comes after the lead pastor of Alpha Hour, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, donated machines and hospital beds, among other items, to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to mark his birthday.
