“Sensate rhymes by Mensah, making his children’s debut, offer musicality, while brightly patterned illustrations from Figueroa express big emotions in this tale of courage and culture.” —Publishers Weekly
"Esi conjures up visions that are simultaneously frightful, dynamic, and all-around enchanting—a wonderful reflection of how very young children often see the world. Mensah’s onomatopoeia-laced narrative is a delight, while Figueroa relies on full-page spreads festooned with arresting West African–inspired patterns, as well as the clever use of negative space, dramatic angles, and vignettes." —Kirkus Reviews
" rich with vocabulary that evokes the symphony of festival sounds. Onomatopoeic and rhyming words appear in all caps" --- School Library Journal
