Ekaite’s First Flight to Calabar

(This book is suitable for kids aged 12 and under).

An adventure story that educates children about the total flight experience and gratitude for life.

Ekaite, a curious and ambitious sixteen years old girl was over the moon when she was invited to Calabar for the annual Calabar Cultural Carnival. It was going to be her first time in Calabar and her first time boarding an aeroplane. But little did she know that what was supposed to be a joyous adventure would turn into a nightmarish and traumatic experience that she would never forget. In the end, it changed her outlook on life, instilling in her a deep sense of gratitude for life. It taught her that life is fickle — we cannot bank on tomorrow or even today; and in fact, the next moment. This moment is all we’ve got.
