Ananse stories are shared among Ghanaian families for entertainment and to teach morals and cultural values to children and adults alike. This particular one was my favorite as a child, and I decided to share it with my son, Mark. Mark also enjoyed this story so much he often requested that I tell him the story over again. As he got older, he suggested that we write our Ananse story so the whole world can enjoy it too.

Ananse (ana-n-si) Smartest Spider in the World is a folktale from Ghana, West Africa. The story, like most of my Ananse stories, is full of twists and turns.When Ananse, the wisest spider, became arrogant because of his natural gift of wisdom, he found himself losing the love and attention of his friends and family in the little village he lived in. Instead of succumbing to his mistakes, he decided to be even more selfish, only to realize that no man can have all the wisdom in the world. Wisdom has to be shared in a team effort in order to benefit everyone.If you enjoyed this book, you will also like Why the Spider Likes It Up.

Have you been less enthusiastic about someone or something, to the point of feeling, you could do better without them? Because you thought they would ruin your day any way. Only to be surprised by the chain of events that turned it completely around, and It became a fun moment instead. Well, this is what happened to the main character in this children's book. It was a Poignant moment for Janice, when she realized her baby brother Jesse had surprised her, by opening a fun app- activity on the computer, she had not seen before, at the gym's kid's club. Even though, it was his first day at the kid's club, regardless of her negative feelings towards him, Jesse was able to change Janice's bad mood, unintentionally, to a positive experience for both. While they have fun learning, exercising and playing together. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE THESE PICTURE BOOKS BY THIS AUTHORWhy the spider likes it upThe smartest spider in the world
