A Somali-English Bilingual Children's Picture Book. The heart? The leg? The ribs? What part of the sheep is the answer to the Sultan s riddle?

But one very poor man s daughter has a different idea. In this clever folktale, a father reluctantly follows his daughter s advice and has astonishing results.
