Sometimes the bravest way forward is the way that looks like you are going back.
Elikem loves watching the fishing boats cross Ghana's beautiful Keta Lagoon, but she is afraid to enter the water. Then Tanti Afi tells her how their Anlo-Ewe ancestors escaped the walled city of Notsie by walking backward-and how courage can sometimes look like cleverness.
Holding tightly to Tanti Afi's hands, Elikem takes one careful backward step after another. What begins with fear becomes a joyful discovery of trust, heritage and her own growing courage.
The Backward Walk is a warmly illustrated Ghanaian heritage story for children ages 4-8. It introduces young readers to Anlo-Ewe history while celebrating family bonds, cultural memory and the courage to try something new.
Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries and readers seeking African children's books with culturally grounded stories and meaningful life lessons.
