Bøger af Modou Lamin Age-Almusaf Sowe

At what age does a child understand? The answer is seven. Don't Judge the Book by the Cover, as the name implies, tells the story of 7-year-old Fatou Sowe, who turned out to be a good speller overnight, as early as the age of seven. Most people understand that the word "boy" is spelled "b-o-y," but not Fatou. Fatou, who has always been good to neighbors and guests alike, wakes up one day to discover she has turned into a good speller with the help of a magic pen. This beautifully illustrated storybook has been created to support learners who, after acquiring the basics of reading and writing, have struggled to organically grasp the rules that govern spelling in the English language. To everyone's surprise, Fatou can now spell the world's most difficult words-and in just a few minutes! But will her extraordinary talent last? The novel centers on the themes of girl-child education in African societies, African traditions, poverty, literacy, and the shared values of love, forgiveness, and unity.

In four hundred and eighty moons ago or thereabout, when Africa was a huge farmland, there lived a king in a place known today as Niamina Dankunku, who was endowed with dignity as a result of his wisdom and unquestionable character and well known within the Senegambia, Guinea and Mali region. He had two wives and six children, his first son Ishaq was to succeed him upon his death, but Sheriff, his second son, and his mother Awa, led Ishaq astray and planned to kill him. Maimuna, the Jinn who loves Ishaq, was afraid to tell him. But Mariama, a friend of Maimuna, also a Jinn, stepped into their relationship and made things more difficult for Maimuna... Athough the play is entirely fictional and any resemblance to any person death or alive is coincidental, it, of course, reflects some of what is typical in human affairs today - jealousies, intrigues, rivalries and compromises.
