These traditional animanl stories, published for the first time, have been passed down from parents to children for generations. The hope is that the lessons these fun-to-read stories each will be used in South Sudan’s schools to help prepare its children to achieve their country’s promise. But more than that, these stories can teach valuable lessons to children everywhere as they begin to assume their responsibility to build a better world.
