About the Author:
Ada-Ari's story books are historical artifacts - returning a piece of the African legacy that was lost over centuries of migration from the continent. The back cover of each book provides child-appropriate geography lessons highlighting the specific country in Africa that each story came from.

I am from Zambia and I was told this story growing up. I didn’t know it was a Nigerian folktale but I was so excited to read it and pass it on to my daughter. My American husband was intrigued by the story too. Will purchase more books
