(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rachel Griffin. This collection of eight tales reflects the diversity and richness of the world's second-largest continent. Using all her skills as a gifted storyteller, South African Mhlophe first introduces readers to each country (Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, etc.) before relating a regional folktale. Griffin's collage illustrations--constructed from fabric, beads, and other materials--make this color-filled volume worth lingering over. Websites.
