(3) K-3 Two sisters--one vain, one magical--are tricked by a serpent into believing he's the perfect husband for the vain sister. When the sisters realize the truth, they must enlist the help of heron Balakononifin to escape the serpent. Diakité's exquisite paint-on-tile illustrations beautifully reflect the story while unobtrusively depicting life in a Malian village.
