The Magical Flame and the Clever Tortoise is a children's story that explains how the Tortoise got its shell to young readers in a fun and engaging way. Just as we do not know how water gets inside a coconut or how snakes lost their legs, the Tortoise's shell is still a big mystery. If you or your children are curious to find out this answer, then this book is for you.
In this story, the animals lived happy lives without hunger or fear. They enjoyed life and wished that things would stay the same. But one day, something unexpected happened, and all their food vanished. Just as all good things must end, their beautiful lives changed before their eyes. No animal was spared. Then, the Tortoise set out on a journey to find food. Through a series of events involving deceit, cleverness, selfishness, and bullying, the Tortoise's shell was born.
Crafted with simple words in large print, beautiful illustrations, and enriched with African idioms, this story is full of valuable lessons. Perfect for children aged 9 and up, it is great for classroom reading, bedtime stories, and moonlight tales.
