    About this audiobook

    How the Crab Lost His Head: An Ananse Tale is a Ghanaian folktale of how the Crab, who once boasted a human head atop his shell, encounters a series of events that lead to his demise by losing his head. This unfortunate event also began a new and empowered identity as he began to choose himself more through self-love. This Ananse tale is a remarkable journey filled with friendship, exploitation, and self-discovery.
