About This Book
In this charming and humorous story, a carpenter living in Cameroon consults a fortune-teller who delivers a series of predictions about his future, from finding wealth to marrying a king's daughter. The narrative cleverly illustrates how these prophecies, initially seeming far-fetched, come to pass through the carpenter's own actions and interpretations, often with a twist of fate and a good dose of humor. It's a wonderful book for children aged 4-11, offering a gentle exploration of destiny, self-fulfilling prophecies, and the power of one's own choices, all set against a vibrant West African backdrop.
