Step into the timeless world of African storytelling, where animals speak, promises matter, and every adventure carries a lesson for the heart.
When chickens begin disappearing from the peaceful African village of Kabengere, a clever rabbit, a sneaky snake, and a wise heron become part of an unforgettable tale of trust, courage, gratitude, and forgiveness. As friendships are tested and promises are broken, young readers discover that kindness should always be repaid with kindness, and that honesty and thankfulness are treasures more valuable than any diamond.
Beautifully adapted from a traditional African folktale, Lotole the Rabbit, Book 1 from Folktale from The Nile Valley celebrates the rich oral storytelling heritage of Africa while sharing timeless values that children and families will cherish for generations.
