Nation Studies: Ghana

Retold by Melinda Lilly and illustrated by Charles Reasoner. In the story, Ananse, known for his cleverness and trickery, sets out to gather all the wisdom he believes he has wasted on the villagers. However, he learns a valuable lesson when his son, Ntikuma, suggests a simpler way to carry the pot of wisdom, which ultimately leads to the pot breaking and the wisdom being scattered throughout the world.
