The story of Johari and the baobab tree that passes wisdom sounds like a nice one. I'm not a fan of children's book, but I can tell that this is a great one. Great review!

This sounds like a lovely children’s book containing great messages and including some African culture with the baobab tree. The illustrations and scrap book effect sounds great too. Thanks for a great review.

Rabbits are mostly associated with cunningness and once I stumble upon one that seeks wisdom, the author must have really tapped alot of research into developing such character. Great review.

I also enjoy children's books because they are full of lifelong values to be imbibed. That it's colorful will have children hooked to it as well. Thanks for your interesting review.

It looks like it's a great book and maybe I will buy one for my great-nephew. I appreciate the fact that the source of the legend is mentioned. Knowing a nice story about Senegal, such a remote place on the earth will be beneficial, I think, for children to develop the feeling that the world is their home.
Thank you for the convincing review! :tiphat:

This story sounds very appealing and would probably be enjoyed by most children. I love stories derived from foreign cultures as they open our eyes to a larger, more beautiful and enticing world.

I am looking forward to reading other works by this author.

A children's book that highlights the baobab tree. The story looks attractive as well as the presentation as a work of art. It features quality illustrations and a font similar to handwriting. In addition, it has content of educational value.
