An Ashanti Tale Retold

By Verna Aardema
Half-a-Ball-of-Kenki may have an unusual name, but this folktale hero has an important part to play. When Fly is in danger from Leopard, a rescue leads to a lively struggle with lasting consequences. This African folktale has the feel of a classic why story, the kind that explains something in the natural world through action, humor, and surprise. Readers ages 6 to 8 can enjoy the bold animal characters and the strange, memorable central figure while following a clear conflict between danger and help. Half-a-Ball-of-Kenki is a good fit for children who like animal tales, origin stories, and folktales where quick action and unexpected characters shape the outcome.
