These stories encourage responsible citizens while using fun narratives. Instead of lecturing a child on how they should give back to their community and behave for the good of the whole (unless there is a good reason not to), these ideas are communicated in a fun and colourful ways. They manage to drive home strong concepts while still remaining engaging. These stories help us explore concepts like Ubuntu, the balance between rights and responsibility and what it really means to be a hero.
