These African fables are part of the traditional folklore of African peoples in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Botswana, and Gabon. African culture is enriched by such lessons that provide universal wisdom and instruction for all of us no matter what our culture or background. Every story is illustrated with a cartoon and an accompanying African proverb or saying to enhance the lesson. These stories are written for an elementary school aged level but may be used for all ages.
