With help from Heo's colorful paintings, award-winning storyteller Aardema masterfully retells a Masai folktale, & shows that a little cleverness can sometimes go a long way. It's mealtime for a mother ostrich & her 4 babies. High above the grass in a tree lies a lonely lioness. I would be happy to have just one child,Ó she thinks to herself, & leaping down from her tree, she steals not one but all 4 ostrich chicks & calls them her own. The mother ostrich pleads with the lioness to give back her chicks -- but that doesn't work. She'll have to find help. Gazelle, hyena, jackal, mongoose . . . She asks them all. Which one will rescue her chicks? Winner, Best Illustrated Children's Book, N.Y.
