When drought leaves Yonas and his mother with nothing but one thin cow, Yonas makes a choice no one understands - he trades her for a handful of glowing seeds from an old traveler's pouch. By morning, an enormous baobab tree stretches beyond the clouds, and the whole village is staring at the sky.
High in its branches waits a treasure guarded for generations: a golden kirar and a basket of teff that never runs empty - kept safe by a great eagle until someone worthy comes to claim it not for himself, but for his people.
Yonas and the Sky Baobab is a warm, bilingual Tigrinya-English picture book celebrating Habesha (Eritrean and Ethiopian) culture, honesty, and generosity. Written side-by-side in both languages, it's designed to be read aloud together - so children can hear the rhythm of Tigrinya while building their English, and parents can share the stories and traditions of their own childhoods.
Includes a Did You Know? cultural facts page and a short introduction to the Tigrinya language and Ge'ez script.
