The Legend of the Baobab Marsha Key

If you ever visit the Savannah of West Africa and see a tree that looks like it is turned upside down exposing its root system instead of limbs, you have just encountered the unusual Baobab tree of Africa. Join the author and illustrator as they share the African legend and origin of the Baobab tree. This legend has been passed down from one generation to the next in the traditional way, by telling and retelling the legend around nightly cooking fires. Now, you can read it for yourself in this delightful story that both children and adults will enjoy.
