Esi is sure she is brave enough for anything. Monsters? Ghosts? Scary masks? They should be afraid of her.
At Ghana’s Kakamotobi Festival, the music booms, the crowd presses close, and strange masked figures whirl everywhere. Esi still wants to be fearless, but when she suddenly cannot find her parents, the festival feels much bigger than she expected.
This vivid picture book follows one determined girl as she discovers that bravery does not mean never feeling scared. With lively read-aloud energy, a strong sense of place, and illustrations full of festival detail, Esi the Brave invites you into a story about courage, family, and finding your way through an overwhelming new experience.
