They didn't understand that brains trump brawn almost every time; that being smart makes the battle shorter, ... and the triumph greater....Hero is a word for winner, not whipper; for smarty, not smarty-pants; for holding on, not holding back. Hero is about being clever, learning from your mistakes, being kind and compassionate, and finding good friends. Picking up a sword doesn't make you a hero--sticking to your word does....The true heroes are the ones who solve their problems---and the problems of the world--without ever having to resort to force..." At the end, the author describes the history of each tale, along with what she added in her versions.

Her mother's ogbo is working on people's farms and performing at special events. Her uncle works in the city and brings home new ideas..... in general, this is an unforced way of talking about work, play, customs, art, and beliefs in a contemporary community.
