(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rachel Isadora. Abena and her little brother, Kofi, take comfort in two folktales from their Ghanaian homeland as they face, with trepidation, their new life in America. Abena tells Kofi one tale involving Anansi and another about a turtle's perseverance. Vibrant illustrations shuttle between present reality and traditional scenes of Ghana and reinforce the siblings' closeness.
