Über den Autor

Dianne Stewart has written more than 30 books for children and young adults, some of which have been published internationally, among them a collection of African proverbs, Wisdom from Africa, and a book of animal tales from Africa, The Zebra's Stripes and Other African Animal Tales. It was through her studies in African languages and literature that she first became aware of the wealth of oral literature that abounds on the African continent, which has been passed on from generation to generation through both word and mouth and the written word.
