In the captivating world of Aldana Libros, Greystone Kids brings forth a delightful adventure that will have readers of ages 9 to 12 bursting with laughter. This graphic novel takes an African folk tale and brings it to life in a fresh and engaging manner, appealing to a new generation of readers.

When Sarras parents pass away, they leave her with a solemn warning: never let her little brother, Dan Auta, cry. However, Dan Auta is a mischievous soul who loves to cause trouble. He embarks on daring escapades, such as hitchhiking on the back of a bird, poking the eye of the king's son, and even urinating on the king's head. Ensuring that Dan Auta doesn't shed a single tear becomes a daunting task for Sarra.

But it is Dan Auta's unbridled curiosity and unwavering determination that might just be the key to saving the city from a terrifying monster known as the Dodo. Despite the odds, Dan Auta is the only one brave enough to confront this formidable creature. With lively illustrations by renowned illustrator Piet Grobler and supplementary material that delves into the significance of the folk tale, Greystone Kids' Dan Auta is a celebration of mischief and bravery that showcases the extraordinary capabilities of kids when they follow their own paths.
