Who’s Got Game? is a series of children’s picture books that Toni Morrison wrote with her son Slade Morrison. The four books, published in 2003 and 2004, take classic Aesop-style fables and retell them with contemporary language and playful illustrations.
The Ant or the Grasshopper? and The Lion or the Mouse? flip the expected morals of their source stories, asking readers to reconsider which character is really in the right. Poppy or the Snake? continues this approach, and Three Fables collects multiple retellings in a single volume. The series is aimed at young readers but carries the same interest in perspective and moral questioning that runs through Morrison’s adult fiction.
