A note for parents

This is a beautifully illustrated Coretta Scott King Award-winning retelling of classic African American folklore featuring clever animal characters outwitting each other. The tales emphasize wit, intelligence, and resourcefulness as the hero's tools rather than violence. While some stories involve mild peril and trickery, the tone remains playful and the content is appropriate for early elementary readers and up.
