Children all over the world have asked "Why does the sun come up?" or "What makes the thunder crash?" A Kenyan folktale answers "Why does the Ostrich Has a Long Neck?" Folktale specialist Laura Wilson weaves a new version of this fable with a feminist spin. Ostrich meets a variety of African animals in his search for a wayward wife. In brilliant colors, the animals' story will delight ages five to adults.
