The book was photographed by Pieter Henket, and it was edited by Eva Vonk and Stefanie Plattner [3] of Tales of Us in Berlin. [4] The Congolese mythology in the book was adapted by Congolese philosopher S. R. Kovo N'Sondé [5] and author Wilfried N'Sondé. [6] Congo Tales is the first in a series of productions by Tales of Us. [7] The project includes a short film directed by Stefanie Plattner based on one of the Congolese myths in the book called The Little Fish and the Crocodile. [8] The third project from Tales of Us is Tales@Home, a free online education program that introduces children to ecological wonderlands—and the culture of the people who live there—from around the globe. The first installment -- Akesi and the Congo River—is based on Congo Tales. [9]
