When Ayobami takes a shortcut through the jungle to get to school, she convinces the animals she meets not to eat her by promising to write down their names for them, once she learns them at school.

Ayobami sueña con ir a la escuela, pero para llegar debe tomar un camino peligroso: el de la selva. Una historia sobre la importancia de la educación, la dificultad que tienen muchos niños para acceder a ella y la perserverancia e ilusión de quien desea aprender.
