(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jagdish Chitara. An unusual fusion of the African American Brer Rabbit tales with Indian folk art. Told by performance poet Flowers using elements of Black Vernacular English, the stories are illustrated in striking black, white, and red in the Mata-Ni-Pachedi tradition of textile art from Gujarat. Includes a CD of music and film that, like the handsome book, may be of greatest interest to adult folklore enthusiasts.
