The Leopard's Drum: An Asante Tale from West Africa by Jessica Souhami

Osebo the leopard has a fine, a huge, a magnificent drum, but he won't let anyone else have it -- not even Nyame the Sky-God.
So Nyame offers a big reward to the animal who will bring him the drum. . . 

How a very small tortoise outwits the beautiful leopard is retold by Jessica Souhami in this traditional tale from West Africa, with bold illustrations adapted from her own shadow puppets.
