The Name of the Tree - A Bantu Tale Retold (Hardcover)

When a drought spreads through the land of the short grass, the animals set out across the great plain to find food. Their only hope for survival is a tree with a variety of colorful fruit. The problem is its branches are too high. To reach them, the wise old turtle says, one must know the name of the tree, something only King Lion is privy to. In this Bantu folktale retold by Celia Barker Lottridge, the hero is not the most cunning or the strongest but the one that tries the hardest. Ian Wallaces striking illustrations of desert landscape and luscious fruit help bring this tale to life. A strong read-aloud, handsomely illustrated. Booklist
