Synopsis

Osebo the leopard boasts a magnificent drum that he refuses to share, even with Nyame, the Sky-God. Determined to possess it, Nyame offers a grand reward to any animal who can bring him the drum. One by one, the monkey, elephant, and python attempt the challenge but fail. Then, the small and clever tortoise devises a cunning plan to outwit the proud leopard. This vibrant tale, enriched with rhythmic text and dynamic collage illustrations, is perfect for reading aloud and teaches the value of intelligence over strength.
