why leopard has spots

This is a great book of short stories. I had the pleasure of having Meg Lippert as an instructor during a college course and love all her stories. These stories are great for telling to any age group.

A beautifully written collection of Liberian stories

This book kept me captivated and entranced with its vivid folktales. My favorite story is "Spider Flies to the Feast." The block prints by acclaimed artist Ashley Bryan are a beautiful touch. This book is a treasure and portrays Liberian culture very vividly. I highly recommend it for readers of all ages.
