FROM THE PUBLISHER

"Here the lore of African stories and storytellers that inspired Cendrars is conveyed by strong use of pure color, by eerie wisps of superimposed images, and by strong silhouettes, all in handsome double-page spreads that are remarkable in their composition."--Bulletin, Center for Children's Books. Caldecott Medal; ALA Notable Children's Book.
