About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to explore the complexities of cleverness, honesty, and social consequences with your child. It is a perfect choice for kids who are beginning to test boundaries or use 'loopholes' to get what they want, providing a safe space to discuss how our actions impact others. Through the lens of a classic Tonga folktale from East Africa, this story follows a mischievous rabbit who uses her wit to trade up from a blade of grass to a feast. While the rabbit is undeniably charming, her tricks eventually catch up with her. It is an ideal read for children aged 4 to 8, offering a rhythmic, engaging narrative that celebrates African oral traditions while providing a gentle lesson on integrity. Parents will appreciate the way it balances humor with a meaningful discussion about why 'winning' through trickery might not be a win at all.
