Animal Warriors: The Adventures of Ejike and Chikere - A Call Comes is a fully illustrated children's fantasy picture book and the beginning of an imaginative adventure series.Ejike and Chikere are ordinary siblings enjoying family life, school, and friendships-until a mysterious call reaches them from beyond their world. What begins as curiosity soon unfolds into something extraordinary as they encounter talking animals with magical powers and glimpse realms that exist beyond the familiar.Drawn into other dimensions and guided by animal guardians with hidden wisdom, the siblings begin to learn that animals are not only beings to be protected, but powerful allies with a purpose of their own. As the journey deepens, Ejike and Chikere sense that the call is connected to them in ways they do not yet fully understand.With vibrant, full-color illustrations on every page, A Call Comes blends fantasy, adventure, and heart while introducing themes of family bonds, friendship, environmental responsibility, and self-discovery. By the end of their first journey, the siblings realize they are more than they ever believed-setting the stage for the adventures still to come.Perfect for read-alouds, independent readers, classrooms, and libraries, Animal Warriors invites children to step into a world where animals speak, worlds collide, and destiny begins with a single call.
