The story of Safiya and the Elephant came about from work with children in a Cumbria school. Pupils in the school had listened to African stories, explored techniques in African art and had taken part in a workshop on West African drumming. Children at KS1 had explored African riddles, composing and sharing their own with friends. Reception children had listened to an African lullabies, and developed language to contribute to a lullaby.
