I believe the author of this book must have a background in child Psychology. Either way he did a marvelous job portraying the values needed to succeed in life. They were well spelled out, cautionary tales based on family values and self-confidence. They are so inspiring, even I get something out of it every time I read it to my 7 year old! The lessons were clearly outlined without ambiguity as to what the right thing to do was. There was a careful presentation on the difference between right and wrong, and the difficult choices that may come your way in life. The use of adinkra symbols and original proverbs based on traditional Afrikan stories were an excellent touch. I am buying ALL of this authors' books because this one was so awesome!
very happy
