Kodua's Ark by Yaw Ababio Boateng

Kodua is a man with a reputation in his village—a reputation for sitting around all day, drinking palm wine, and being a general "good-for-nothing." He is the target of much laughter and scorn, with only one faithful friend standing by him. But one day, Kodua is struck by a revolutionary idea that could change his life and the fortunes of his entire village. He decides to do the unthinkable: he announces he is going to build an ark! Despite the renewed mockery, Kodua begins his monumental project. This story is an inspiring tale of redemption, hard work, and the power of a single idea to transform a life and earn the respect of a whole community
