Obatala, the King of Ifan, decides to visit his friend Shango, King of Oyo. The journey is long and requires many days of travel across deserts, forests, and savannahs. Before he sets out on his trip, the court Babalawo (diviner) tells him that the voyage will also be full of danger. Obatala decides to take the risk anyway. Renato da Silveira based his work on the research of Pierre Fatumbi on the legend of Oshalufan, the elderly incarnation of Obatala, as well as other sources to weave a playful and informative narrative. Edsoleda Santos illustrates the story with all its symbolism, colors, and details connected to the traditions portuguese of the Yoruba people.
