This short story is about a lesson from disregarding an excellent moral compass. Although this book highlights the peaceful, harmonious friendship between the Ajapa (Tortoise) and Ako (Great Heron) at the beginning, that friendship was tested because of Tutu's lack of self-restraint. After falling from the sky, Ajapa's action left an undeniable legacy of a cracked shell on the back of all tortoises. I wrote this story to preserve the oral story that elders used to share with me and many other fellow kids growing up in my African community when we gathered in our compounds roasting corn on the cob under the stars. This book is dedicated to our elders and ancestors. Some of the proceeds will go to STEM and STEAM initiatives in Africa.

Have you ever wondered why the tortoise has a cracked shell or why birds live way up in the sky? This is a tale of wits and wisdom. The tortoise, thinking he was the cleverest, met his match in the birds. During a time when food was scarce, the birds helped the tortoise. But instead of being grateful, the tortoise was unkind, returning their good deeds with bad ones. He thought he could always outsmart everyone else. But the birds were even smarter. They tricked the tortoise's wife and set in motion an event that has been remembered for ages. You'll uncover more in this book. But remember, this isn't just a story. It's a journey into a world where cleverness is tested, actions have consequences, and things aren't always as simple as they seem.
