One of Aaron Shepard's many skills is his ability to retell foreign tales in an interesting fashion. This kindle book is virtually free and will be enjoyed by children. It tells the story of the superhero Murindo who was born with the ability to think, walk, and talk. His father wanted only girl children and ordered all sons born to him to be killed. The story tells how he was able to escape many attempts to kill him. It has an interesting ending. Shepard adds an explanation after the story in which he tells its origin and the meaning of some African terms.
