A common feature in most African folklore, especially children's folk tales, is the trickster. The trickster is a cunning character that uses its natural intelligence to play tricks on others or break the rules. The trickster takes many forms, with the most common being human, sprit, or animal.

In many west African tales, the tortoise is greatly featured as the trickster. The tales of the tortoise usually serve as a warning against immorality. The Sisi Tosin Tortoise series, brings back to life a classic oral tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation with vivid illustrations. The adventures of the trickster tortoise will equally amuse and teach children.
