A word from the author
Through this book, I want to tell children that it is possible to love history, at any age. More importantly, this book emphasizes the importance of knowing your own history.
It also reminds us that heroes are often among us, perhaps even in our families.
Also, Sékou’s dilemma in the face of his friends’ reproaches makes it possible to question the relevance of giving up what one loves, to please one’s entourage. A reminder to children that it is essential to be themselves and to be aware of their potential.
In addition, a strong relationship is honored, that of Sékou and his grandfather. The main objective is to underline the place of transmission.
This book is full of surprises (there is another story within the story) and will delight young readers with the diversity of the topics covered.
