Esi the Brave

Esi ist ein mutiges ghanaisches Mädchen, das Monster, Geister und alles liebt, was in der Nacht Geräusche macht. Als ihre Familie zum Kakamotobi-Festival geht — einer lebhaften Maskeradenfeier in Winneba, Ghana — besteht Esi darauf, dass sie vor nichts Angst hat. Doch als die maskierten Tänzer sie umzingeln und sie von Mama und Papa getrennt wird, muss Esi echten Mut finden, um sich den wirbelnden Monstern zu stellen und ihre Eltern zurückzufordern. Eine fröhliche Feier der Tapferkeit, ghanaischer Feste und des Moments, in dem ein Kind entdeckt, was es wirklich bedeutet, mutig zu sein.

Ausgezeichnet

Mensah's onomatopoeia-laced narrative is a delight… A monstrously good time.

This cinematic picture book about conquering fear is sure to be a favorite read aloud.

Shelf Awareness

My daughter kept saying, 'Esi did it even though she was scared.' That line seemed to stick with her long after we'd finished the book.

Parent

Read this with my Year 1 class. The children were desperate to talk about which parts they would have found scary.

Teacher

Bought this for my granddaughter. We ended up reading it twice in one visit.
