(4) K-3 "No one knows the story of tomorrow's dawn." Energetic and vibrant illustrations capture the varying moods (from jovial to witty to serious) of these twenty-six proverbs from various African tribes, including Ashanti, Zulu, and Maasai. Some insight into a few of the more obscure sayings would have made this collection accessible to a wider range of readers. An author's note provides additional information.
