Description
Raouf Mama is widely beloved by children and adults alike for his books and especially for his African and multicultural storytelling, which incorporates poetry, song, music, and dance.
In Fortune's Favored Child, the master storyteller tells his own story, beginning in the West African country of Benin.
Through a harrowing experience with sickness, an encounter with a clairvoyant traditional healer, and astonishing twists of fortune, the protagonist struggles to uncover his real identity, to get an education, and to make his own way in the world.
His journey takes him to the shores of the United States to attend graduate school at the University of Michigan and begin a new chapter in his life.
