Visit the mountains of Ethiopia through sweeping watercolor
illustrations and meet Tshai, an orphan girl who finds "A perfect
orange!" and decides to take it to the village king as a gift. Ato Jib,
the Lord Hyena, tries to discourage her, telling her an orange is a
silly gift, but Tshai is not easily tricked and presents the king with
the orange who greets her with thanks. When Tshai returns on a donkey
with saddle bags full of gold, Hyena sees this and tries himself, giving
the ruler all his possessions and receiving in return the king's most
prized possession: a perfect orange. Hardcover, 32 pages. Ages 4-8.
