Anansi is out a long journey when he encounters trouble when he meets fish and falcon. Thankfully Anansi also encounters Nyame, the God of all Things, he is able to help get Anansi out of his tough situation. This beautifully illustrated book will be a favorite among elementary students. ( ) I was referred to the Anansi tales by a colleague, prompted by a virtual trivia event where we were in a group that chose the team name Arachnids of the Caribbean. Anansi is a folk hero spider character that originated in Ghana. This children's book is delightful story, told as much by the expressive pictures as by the minimal words. This part of Anansi's story includes elements of family, mutual support and individual purpose. Has as a teacher's guide
