Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
Two picture books by the same author open different doors into the Comoros. Salim Hatubou traces Chifchif to his maternal grandmother. Dimkou, published bilingually in Moroni, follows a forest creature who becomes a father figure. Here you can follow the family transmission and the book publication separately.
