Origin and tradition
Moroni · book publication
In Salim Hatubou’s bilingual picture book published by Komédit in Moroni, the sultan thinks the girl should live somewhere else and has her taken away. But Dimkou has raised her with care and comes to bring her home. Our first impression of the danger in the forest changes when we see who actually looks after the child.
