Don't Judge The Book By The Cover, as the name implies, tells the story of 7-year-old Fatou Sowe, who turned out to be a good speller overnight, as early as the age of nine. Most people know that the word BOY is spelled as B-O-Y -- but not Fatou.
Fatou, who has always been good to neighbors and guests alike, wakes up one day to discover she has turned into a good speller with the help of a magic pen. This beautifully illustrated storybook has been created to support learners who, after acquiring the basics of reading and writing, have struggled to organically grasp the rules that govern spelling in the English language.
To everyone’s surprise, she can now spell the most difficult words in the world -- and a few minutes, too! But will her extraordinary talent last?
The short story centers on the theme (childhood and education in African societies, African traditions, poverty, and the shared values of love, forgiveness, and unity.)
