Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba (Our Ancestories)

Idia of the Benin Kingdom: Coloring and Activity Book (Our Ancestories)

Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba: Coloring and Activity Book (Our Ancestories)

Our Ancestories’ vision is to nudge the world towards a point where:

  • There is an avid learning culture for African history.
  • People of African descent are at least as exposed to African history as we are to Western history.
  • Africans look more to our history as we pave a way for the future.
  • Legends that make up African history are mainstream and are introduced to children across the globe.

Author Picture

Ekiuwa Aire

Ekiuwa Aire was born and raised in Benin City, Edo, Nigeria. Ekiuwa’s passion for African history emerged when she left Nigeria for Canada in 2007. When she became a mother, Ekiuwa realized that there were not a lot of resources to introduce African history to her young children. She wanted her kids (and other kids) to develop an appreciation for African history and to value the wisdom and pride that will come from this knowledge. This desire spurred her to write her first picture book about Queen Idia, Idia of the Benin Kingdom.

Natalia Popova (Illustrator)
