“This lyrical and beautifully illustrated book blends Dogon and [French or] English as it takes us across a cultural and linguistic journey to celebrate the timeless heritage and practices of the Dogon people in Mali. It is a delightful read for both children and adults.”
-- Nsah Mala, PhD, award-winning futurist and poet
