Auntie Ananse's Amazing Adventure in America
Ananse, the clever spider from Ghana, decided to take a unexpected trip to America.

But Ananse, being the resourceful spider he was, always found a way out of trouble. His wisdom and his talent to spin tales that here were both inspiring helped him make friends.
