Description: A memoir in which Baba Diakité recalls the time he spent as a child with his grandparents in a tiny Malian village where he learned to catch a catfish with his bare hands, listened to his grandmother's stories, and soaked in other life lessons until it was decided he was educated enough to attend school in the city where his talents as an artist and storyteller were nurtured.
