written and illustrated by John Steptoe
32
pages. 9.8" x 11.5" hardcover.
A picture book retelling of an African folktale is the story of two beautiful sisters: the kind and good Nyasha and the selfish and evil-tempered Manyara. An African king requests that "the most worthy and beautiful daughters in the land" appear before him so that he can select an appropriate bride. Will Nyasha's loving heart and generous spirit help her win the hand of the King?
John Steptoe has said that the ruins of an ancient city near Zimbabwe, Africa, inspired his 1988 Caldecott honor-winning watercolor-and-ink illustrations.
