Biografía del autor:

Atakelty Hailu is an academic and lives in Australia. He received his education in Ethiopia and Canada. The Lion and the Gibbon is his first children’s book and is based on his favourite childhood story, ‘Aya Anbessa’, a tale about the troubled relationship between a lion and his friend. Unlike most other stories, he had heard the tale from only one person, a loving aunt who lived in the Abyssinian capital of antiquity (Yeha). When he grew up and he had his own children who wanted to hear stories, it was ‘Aya Anbessa’ that always came first to mind. His children loved it and now he wishes to do one more thing with his favourite story—share it with many more young book lovers.
