The Lion and the Rat by Ruth Wanyana

This beautifully retold folktale, rooted in Buganda tradition, brings to life the timeless moral that size doesn’t determine one’s impact. When a curious little rat accidentally disturbs a sleeping lion, fear turns into an unlikely friendship—proving that even the smallest creature can make a big difference. Translated into English and Swahili to broaden its reach, this version is part of the “SOFT” (Save Our Folktales) initiative and is published under the esteemed Oasis Book Project.
