My name is Zadoo. I love reading storybooks.

If I could visit an African Storybook storybook,

I would visit 'A Very Tall Man' in his very tall house in the forest.

I would sit on his very tall chair and eat with his very long fork.

I would visit 'The Magical Rainbow River' in Mbadede, to eat the ice cream found on the river banks.

I may even take a drink for healing.

I would visit 'Kalabushe the Talkative', and ask her to please share the recipe for her grandmother's pie.

I like learning new recipes.

I would visit 'Abebech the Bajaj Driver' in Ethiopia.

She is such an inspiration!

Read her story to find out why she is inspiring.

I would follow the 'Busy, Busy Sun' to Terfa's compound for the recipe of bier and apukpa.

I hear it is some kind of millet porridge and bambara nut pudding.

I would join Juma and Kadogo in the 'Africa Unity Race', a marathon to unite all African people.

Maybe they would let me hold the torch of flames as we run together.

I would spend some time with Ayator and his friends, to learn more about how 'Emotions Come and Go'.

How are you feeling right now?

I would join Hamisi and his father to shop for a new uniform in 'Hamisi's Lucky Day'.

I like admiring new and colourful clothes at the market, and finding out prices.

In 'Kariza's Questions', I would join Kariza at school to also ask her teacher some questions.

I would use a microscope to see the germs on my hands. I would wash the germs away with soap and water!

I would visit Anansi the clever spider. I want to say "thank you" to him.

He did a splendid job at getting stories from the sky god Nyame, and bringing them to earth. Do you know 'How Stories Came to People'?

In this storybook, I took you to visit the characters and places in some of my favourite storybooks.

When you next read a storybook, where will you visit and who will you meet?
