A time of giving thanks to the Gods for providing Nigerian Clans with full harvests, the Harvest Time Masquerade is an important tradition where Ekpe Society members honor the Earth and skies for rendering favorable conditions for their crops.
Ema, only ten-years-old, is wise and wants to guide her four-year-old brother, Eno, who hopes to be initiated as an Ekpe when he grows up.
This delightful tale captures the magnificent essence of this wonderful time for the various clans across Nigeria, in the heart of Western Africa.

Idara Otu is a Nigerian-American charity founder and athlete. Inspired by the vibrancy of her native culture and lack of its representation in children's storybooks, she was compelled to bring those childhood West African tales to life. In 2017 she founded Let Girls Read, Run, Grow, an organization that supports the development of African adolescent girls through education, athletics, and entrepreneurship. Idara is also an Olympian, having competed for her native country as a member of the Nigerian 4x400-meter relay team in the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games. She resides in New York City.
