Under the Baobab Tree

by Julie Stiegemeyer

Moyo and his sister Japera hurry to the baobab tree in their African village, wondering whether they will find peddlers, conversation among the elders, storytellers, or perhaps something new.

This is an attractive book with attractive lyrical prose and imaginative images and illustrations. Yet for some reason it does not stick with me nor really excite me. I have an advanced copy and I'm sure the finished piece is even better. I do think that this book would be good for introducing different cultures and churches for others. I don't know that I would run out and buy it, but I wouldn't hesitate to read it at the library or in class.
