Mansa Musa: The richest man in history (Our Story) Paperback – June 21, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
‘Mansa Musa - The richest man in history’ is a biography for children about the richest person that ever lived.
History has so many stories about people who have had a significant impact on the world but are known by very few people. The Our Story series is made up of their stories, and through learning about them you will realise that there really is no limit to what you can achieve.
Written and published independently by Young Trees Education, the book features outstanding illustrations by Emanuel Colban.
This is a 38 page children’s book which includes questions, a craft activity, glossary and pronunciation guide, as well as a QR code linking to further information about the Djinguerber Mosque for our young readers to interact with.
We are also delighted to have partnered with CAMFED to provide one day of schooling for a young girl in Africa with each book purchased.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Format: KindleI had not known of this rich man before discovering him in this book. The story reminds me of Bible tales because it is written about a time long ago about a people who traveled through deserts on camels with great treasure. But it is about a great Muslim man who practiced extreme generosity and worked to establish institutions of learning. It is nice to see other religions and cultures so our children can be more aware of the varied peoples on the planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality throughout
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseEven if these books only contained the pictures, they'd still be worth every penny. The images alone are absolutely stunning, telling a story without words, yet filled with rich meaning. The books invite readers to reflect, readers to think, and discuss, making them fantastically stimulating in every way. The storytelling is deep and meaningful, and the quality throughout is truly impressive.

Not only was the story really interesting, but it was exciting to discover things about an important person we previously knew nothing about!

The illustrations are stunning and I found the glossary and pronunciation guide particularly useful. Also, each book sold provides a day of education for children in sub-Saharan Africa which is a wonderful thing to support. Great work!
