They never had to grow crops or cook—whenever they were hungry, they could just reach up and take a piece of sky. It sometimes tasted like stew, sometimes like corn...and it was always delicious! But people became greedy and took more than they needed, throwing the leftovers away. The sky soon became angry and decided to teach the humans a lesson by moving far away, and it remains there to this day.\n\nThis picture book based on a 500-year-old Nigerian folktale features bright, dynamic illustrations by an an award-winning artist and a powerful environmental message as relevant today as it was five centuries ago.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316308749\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316308749.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gerson, Mary-Joan|Golembe, Carla\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
