Grandma probably told you a lot of things that you forgot. Things she told you that you wished you have a chance to revisit the past,so you could hear it again. This book is about our African folktales and stories about our cultural values. This book is just to refresh our memories about our cultural heritage which seemed we have forgotten it. An adage says that :"A river that forgets it source/origin will surely run dry". Let's promote our heritage. Come and let's join Grandma and reflect on all the stories Grandma told us. © Odekanle .R.
