Classic Somali Folktales for Children teaches youngsters about the Somali culture through colorful and timeless tales featuring crafty, mischievous, curious, and wise animals native to the Horn of Africa. Many of these tales in their classic oral form are passed down through the generations, from grandparents to their own children and grandchildren. The beautifully illustrated stories expose readers of all ages to oral culture and traditions, teach positive character traits and universal lessons about kindness, honesty, and perseverance, and help children develop strong reading skills.
