(3) K-3 Illustrated by Linda Saport. This retelling of an African and Asian folktale is set in modern-day Tanzania. Tatu heeds the advice of an old wise woman, and, using a Swahili song and a good dose of patience, she tames first a lion (for his whiskers) and then her unruly little brother. The tale is illustrated in full-bleed impressionistic, rainbow-hued pastels. Lyrics and a musical score for a Swahili song are included at the end of the book.
