The Best Beekeeper Of Lalibela
A Tale From Africa
BY CHRISTINA KESSLER, LEONARD JENKINS
Brief Description:
Long ago in the mountains of Ethiopia, bees arrived in Lalibela, and people poured in to buy their honey. A young girl, Almaz vows her honey will be the best of all. The current beekeepers laugh her away and tell her it's men's work. Determined to prove them wrong, she can barely climb the trees to reach the hives. The men think she's learned her lesson, but they don't know Almaz. In this spirited text by Cristina Kessler perseverance is the key to achieving one's dreams. Ages 4-8.
