Ananse's family is hungry and he needs to make some money fast so he can buy food. Ananse has a very useful skill - he can sew. He decides to make some hats to sell, but on his way to the market some curious monkeys steal his hats while he snoozes under a tree. How will Ananse get his hats back?

Musicians from the BBC Philharmonic are joined by storyteller Jan Blake and multi-instrumentalist Sidiki Dembélé to share this funny, musical story from the Caribbean.
