African rhythms combine with a well-known hymn to produce a merge of cultures in this picture book. The poem tells the story of the Senufo people, who live in the north of the Cote d'Ivoire. The Lord of the Dance in the well-known hymn has become the Mask, worshipped by the Senufo. This is the Mask's song: through it, you can hear the powerful beat of African drums. The author illustrates her poem in the style of Senufo art, replacing the traditional brown ink with her own dazzling colours.
