Sosu's Call

One of Africa's top children's writer's and illustrators, his new book is one of his two published in Africa since 1982. Beautifully illustrated on artpaper, the delightful story tells of Sosu, a young disabled boy who cannot walk. He misses going to school and all the activities of the other children. But his village is on a lagoon, and one day when everyone is away fishing, working in the fields or at school, he raises the alarm with his drumming, and saves the village from total destruction by the sea. His heroism is rewarded when a wheelchair is donated and at last he can go to school.
