About the Book

Just like the title of the book 'Under The African Sky, ' this book is a collection of stories to help promote some African culture to the outside world. The society we are currently living in is filled with many wicked, disobedient, disrespectful, corrupt, rude, proud and greedy people. I believe in the saying "charity begins at home." Most of the character which people demonstrate outside of their homes is the result of what they have learned from their homes as they were growing up. Being raised in an environment that is lacking in love, kindness, and in the caring for others and the world that surrounds them, young impressionable minds are often corrupted in their reasoning and doings as they mature into adults. I believe if children can acquire a good upbringing from their homes it will go a long way toward cleansing our societies, our world and environments of these problems. A balanced society in which love, kindness and the sharing of abundance is always demonstrated will encourage the development of a kind, considerate and thoughtful character in the individual, (Story-One). It is of great benefit for our younger ones to listen to their parents' and elders' advice and teachings as they mature so that they will succeed in life, (Story-two). It is also a great benefit for the younger ones to know that they will only be able to succeed in life if they read, study very hard, and diligently apply themselves in acquiring a good education in school rather than depending upon any form of cheating and malpractice in the pursuit of education, knowledge and wisdom, (Story-three). Vainglorious pride destroys character worse than anything else can. A proud person will never learn from his or her mistakes in life. Overarching pride and vanity ruins a person, (Story-four). It is also important to know that the combination of strength and wisdom work together better than independently of each other. If you depend solely on strength alone without wisdom you might end up doing foolish things in life, (Story-five). Learn to trust and believe in God for assistance. Whatever you are doing, make sure you do it well so that God and the people in the society will honor you, (Story-six). The book also contains questions at the end of each story to refresh the readers' mind back to what he/she has read. In this way the reader will learn correctly how to better comprehend what was read and answer questions in English language. Dictionary work is also included to enhance smooth reading and comprehension. Aside from the lessons this book provides for our younger generation, it will also help to enlighten and bring them up into the fascinating and wonderful world of literature - what it takes to think, read and write. This book is not only for entertainment purpose. It is also targeted at teaching young ones good moral and ethical behavior in their society. Adamu Donald
