 Mansa Musa Khephra Burns • Leo Dillon (Illustrator) • Diane Dillon (Illustrator) BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR • 2001 • HARD COVER • 56 PAGES • MIDDLE READERS (Age 9-12)
This fascinating biography follows Mansa Musa from his lowly boyhood in 14th-century West Africa to his adolescence as a slave in a foreign desert to his ultimate ascendance as king of Mali. Khephra Burns writes marvelously, and the Dillons' illustrations are out-and-out transcendant. It's a treasure for readers ages 8-12.
