Bring It On Home

It's not that easy for teachers to bring stories home to children from a written text. Magnificent illustrations help, and How Baboon Got a Shiny Rump certainly has those. Alternate text in a commonly-known language also helps, and the book has that, too. But a really good teacher can mold the text and the songs into just the right form to enter the children's hearts.

Here's storyteller/poet Kewulay Kamara showing us how, using a beautifully illustrated text in English of How Baboon Got a Shiny Rump, with a multi-age group of Kuranko-speaking children.
