The Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, famous for his tales including "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbette" or "The Little Mermaid", was born on April 2, 1805. Since 1967, the date of April 2 is dedicated to the book for children to fight against illiteracy.

Sylvie Méviane Fourn, founder of the Imya library in Port-Gentil, from her South African "exile", sent a video where she read a Gabonese tale to the children gathered for the occasion around the artist and writer Nanda La Gaboma . For this, she chose a Gabonese tale with a motivating moral which, in the Omyene language, declares: "oba wi bosso wa lwanizi ndjina ni ndjana", which means "by dint of waiting for the next mango tree, the gorilla remained without eat ". To say "Never put off until later what you can do now".

The story is taken from the book Inkogo, Petites fables de la forêt équatoriale, written by two Gabonese authors, Yveline and Florisse MABBYALAS.

After also reading some stories to children, Nanda took the opportunity to appeal to writers to also invest in children's literature.
