Mansa Musa by Louisa Olafuyi & Oladele Olafuyi

Mansa Musa Builds a School is a fictional story based on a real-life innovator, Mansa Musa, Emperor of Mali, West Africa. He established the University of Sankore, a centre of culture and learning, drawing in language, law, astronomy and mathematics scholars. The university was recorded to have the largest collection of books in Africa.

Mansa Musa Builds a School teaches children that happiness is not essentially in how much wealth you possess but in how much impact you can make on others.
