One morning, after dreaming about a woman-warrior in battle, Idia attends the Igue Festival, where she dances with other villagers who find her movements inspiring and unique. Though Idia loves to dance, she is curious about what her dream may mean. Idia chooses to pursue her feelings and does whatever it takes to become what her vision had shown her. Idia of the Benin Kingdom takes readers on a beautifully illustrated journey to the 1500s in ancient Africa. Readers are captivated as they watch Idia transform herself from the young and curious daughter of a village warrior to becoming the Queen of the Kingdom of Benin.
