Traditional cautionary tale from South Africa about the importance of not complaining. The tale explains why the curious Baobab tree looks like it has its roots in the air and why the gods decided to turn it upside down. The tale is told beautifully even with the simplest of language. The text is perfectly supported by attractive colour illustrations that give a real sense of African mythology. This title is part of a series that is excellent value in sturdy hardback. |
