"All the children chime in,their voices leaping over each other"

This book really spoke out to me especially the fact that this could be used to help show students other cultures and get conversations/connections about their own culture!

This story take you along Nana Akua going to school to teach students about the culture in Ghana the message behind the story allows students to think more deeply about their own culture/families. As well as things that they value.

"Wisdom is not just for one; it is meant to be shared."

"Anansi the Spider" can be used in the classroom to spark discussions about storytelling and the importance of clever problem-solving. Teachers can encourage students to create their own stories inspired by Anansi's adventures, promoting creativity while reinforcing lessons about community and sharing knowledge.

This popular folktale from West African and Caribbean folklore follows Anansi, a clever spider known for his trickster nature. Anansi seeks to obtain wisdom. He often outsmarts other animals and uses his wit to overcome challenges. Anansi learns about the importance of sharing knowledge and the consequences of selfishness. The tale emphasizes themes of intelligence, community, and the significance of storytelling in passing down wisdom.
