About the author

Ben Orjih

Ben Orjih is a storyteller who writes for every stage of life: from the first songs a toddler learns to read, to stage plays that ask teenagers what tradition means today.

His stories are rooted in African village life: kings and elders, kite contests and market days, grandparents full of wisdom. They're written to be read aloud, laughed over and talked about at the dinner table.

Ben's books are used by families, teachers and homeschool groups who want children to see warmth, humor and culture on every page.
