		No, we know nothing of the childhood of the famous Mansa Musa--however, the portrayal of the cultures and ways of life of the people is vivid and accurate, and this legend-like tale will surely gain a deserving place in the canon of children's literature.
		For educational use, this is of fairly limited factual use because of the dearth of written accounts about Mansa Musa and his reign and, as a result, the fictional nature of the main narrative.
		This story is an account of the life of Mansa Musa before he became king, and while the background is historically accurate, most of the account of his life before he became king is fictional.
