When the Night Watches: Tales Told by Firelight - Book One
Gather close. The fire is lit, the stars are out, and it's time for the first six stories.
A mother swallowed whole must outwit a giant from the inside to save her children and everyone trapped with her. A boastful spider makes a dangerous wager with Death himself. A curious girl is pulled beneath a silent river by a serpent spirit with one lesson left to teach her. A small, clever tortoise outsmarts a giant to save his hungry village. A shape-shifting monster stalks a coastal town until one girl's riddle - and her neighbors' trust - brings it down. And a mischievous night spirit torments a boy's home, until he discovers that staying calm is its own kind of bravery.
Drawn from Zulu, Akan, Yoruba, Swahili, and Xhosa storytelling traditions, each tale comes with its own original song, a note for parents and guardians, discussion questions, and a set of fun coloring pages at the end.
Six tales. Five traditions. One long night by the fire.
