Healing The World With True Stories

Here at Our Ancestories, we believe that inspiring young children to love and appreciate their rich cultural heritage is a manifestation of true unconditional love.

Despite the lack of representation, the lack of inclusivity, and whitewashing that have held African culture and other races in the darkest pages of history, we can now create a new chapter that is not solely embroidered by someone’s point of view but based on factual stories.

Our Ancestories Is Your Storytelling Partner

Discover why Our Ancestories books can help you inspire your little one to dream big, one book at a time.

Beautifully Illustrated

Each page of the Our Ancestories book is beautifully illustrated to depict African communities as empowered men and women capable of shaping a great future.

Spend More Time With Your Children

With a wide selection of books, reading Our Ancestories can be a great bonding time for you and your children so you can appreciate more of your rich cultural heritage all while reading together.

Inspire Your Child To Love Their Roots

Ignite their passion for their own culture as Our Ancestories books are carefully narrated to shed light on the multiculturality and truth of African history.

Assist Their Creative Development

Utilize their gift of imagination, as the books are written in a way that allows them to navigate through their creative plane and explore their own world of representing characters. 

Maximize Their Learning Potential

Help your children succeed by developing not just a love for their culture but also the love for learning through reading.

About Your Author

Hello! I'm Ekiuwa Aire, a Nigerian-Canadian cultural connector who is passionate about building love and knowledge of African history and culture with all kids.

I started Our Ancestories and became a storyteller when I saw that there weren't many different kinds of children's books, especially ones about African history.

I started writing books because I wanted to teach my own kids about their history. Now, I'm excited and honored to be able to use my books to help keep African heritage and culture alive.

Here at Our Ancestories, we believe that stories mold what the future looks like. Hence, creating books that inspire heritage appreciation and preservation can create world changers.

Testimonials

This unique story lyrically fills an obvious hole in picture books, animating a powerful figure and showing children that they can achieve their dreams, literal or metaphorical, through perseverance.

- School Library Journal

Customer image

An excellent, informative tale of an African queen for readers of all ages.

- Kirkus Reviews

Customer image

It’s rare to find stories set in ancient Africa, particularly those that are written by #ownvoices authors. (Aire grew up in Benin City.) Both the imaginative, fast-paced text and detailed illustrations will engage children with this 500 year old history.
