BaMusa the hatseller travelled from town to town with his hats piled high on his head. "Hee Manum nin koi kadi sa!" he sang, which means, "What a wonderful business hat selling is!"

One day, BaMusa set out for a festival that was a day's walk away. He was in such a hurry to leave, he didn't eat any breakfast. Halfway there, he grew so tired and hungry, he had to stop and rest.

Master storyteller Baba Wague Diakite retells this highly entertaining, authentic African teaching tale the way it was told to him when he was a child. And his vibrant, ceramic-tile paintings bring BaMusa, the monkeys, and all the plants and creatures of the fertile African countryside vividly to life.
