The Day Eshu Learned to Deliver Messages

By: Boggs, Zanda

Sometimes the smallest voice carries the most important message... but only if it listens first.

In The Day Eshu Learned to Deliver Messages, Book 2 in the Little Lights of If series, young readers follow the lively and curious Eshu as he takes on a very important role-becoming the messenger between heaven and earth. Chosen by Ol d mar for his speed and cleverness, Eshu is excited... but being fast isn't the same as being careful.

When Eshu rushes through his first task and changes a message along the way, the world quickly falls out of balance. Rivers rage, confusion spreads, and Eshu must face the consequences of not truly listening. Through guidance, reflection, and a second chance, Eshu learns that words hold power-and that responsibility comes with every message we carry.

Written in a warm, engaging style perfect for young minds, this story gently teaches children the importance of listening, focus, honesty, and accountability. Rooted in the rich traditions of If and Yoruba culture, this beautifully illustrated book introduces children to timeless wisdom in a way that feels magical, meaningful, and easy to understand.

Perfect for ages 4-10, this book is ideal for bedtime stories, classroom discussions, and families looking to share culturally rich stories that nurture both heart and mind.

Continue the journey with the Little Lights of If series-where every story is a lesson, and every lesson is a light.
