Ebi's Secret

Ebi is the chief's trusted friend. Every evening he goes out to his little hut in the gardens. When he leaves, he locks the door securely behind him. What is he doing in there? What is he hiding? So goes this story about loyalty and jealousy, sincerity and hypocrisy, set among tribal people of Papua New Guinea. Teresa Payne lived and worked with these ancient people to learn and help preserve their decorative arts, culture and traditions. This children's book (ages 5-10) richly illustrated with 16 beautiful colored drawings set inside decorative frames with a myriad of fascinating detail, is based upon a story told by Prem Rawat. Teresa Payne now lives in Norfolk, England, with her family where she illustrates children's books professionally.
