Sosu's Call , won the 1999 UNESCO 1st prize for Children's and Young People's Literature in the Service of Tolerance . It is listed as one of the top twelve titles of Africa's 100 Best Books ; and has been named an Honor Book for Young Children by the African Studies Association's Children's Africana Book Committee, as a contribution to accurate and balanced material on Africa for children. Beautifully illustrated on artpaper, the story tells of Sosu, a young disabled boy who cannot walk. Sosu misses going to school and all the activities of the other children. His village is on a lagoon, and one day when everyone is away fishing, working in the fields or at school, he raises the alarm with his drumming, and saves the village from total destruction by the sea. His heroism is rewarded when a wheelchair is donated and at last he can go to school. This is a newly enhanced, digitally produced version of this classic African children's book.
