| DESCRIPTION |
| Anansi the Spider is a wise, funny, mischievous, and loveable folk hero
who pops up in traditional Ashanti tales from Ghana, in West Africa.
This story, retold and illustrated by Gerald McDermott, relates the
tale of father Anansi and his six spider sons. When Anansi sets out on a
dangerous journey and gets into all sorts of trouble, each son does
one thing to help, and all their efforts together save their father. He
finds a mysterious, beautiful globe of light in the forest, and
decides to make it a gift of thanks. But which son should receive the
prize? Even with the help of Nyame, the God of All Things, he can't
decide, so Nyame takes the great globe up into the sky, and that's
where it has stayed ever since--the moon, for all to see. This profound
story reaches children of many ages; younger ones see it as an
exciting rescue story, but older children are intrigued by the larger
themes of cooperation and "the whole being more than its parts."
