Description:
|
While waiting for the celebrations to begin, young Api sits beneath a mango tree, listening to the feast-day sounds. Suddenly all is silent, for a strange boy has entered the village asking for food. Rhythmic text and lush paintings provide an evocative look at the birth of an African village where people still honor the legend this tale is based on. Full color.
