The Talking Vegetables

By Won-Ldy Paye, Margaret H. Lippert, Julie Paschkis (Illustrator)

Henry Holt and Company, 2006. ISBN-13:978-0-8050-7742-1

The villagers are planting a farm, but Lazy Spider refuses to help. Later, he decides to pick some produce. Imagine his surprise when the vegetables start talking.

In the same manner it takes the whole village to raise a child, we can say, it takes the whole community to feed the hungry.

Mrs. Chicken and the Hungry Crocodile

By Won-Ldy Paye, Margaret H. Lippert, Julie Paschkis (Illustrator)

Henry Holt and Company, 2003. ISBN: 0-8050-7047-8

Mrs. Chicken can’t see her wings in the puddle, so she walks down to the river where she can admire all of herself. She doesn’t know that   Crocodile is there, waiting for dinner—and a tasty chicken would do nicely! To save herself, Mrs. Chicken tells Crocodile that they are sisters. But how can a speckled chicken and a green-skinned crocodile be related? Mrs. Chicken had better prove that they are, and fast, because Crocodile is getting hungrier . . .

Mrs. Chicken and the Hungry Crocodile is available from bookstores and online merchants.

By Won-Ldy Paye, Margaret H. Lippert, Julie Paschkis (Illustrator)

Henry Holt and Company, 2002, ISBN: 0-8050-65709

Head is all alone. Body bounces along. Arms swing about, and Legs stand around. They can’t do much by themselves, so they try to join together. But how? Should Head attach to the belly button? Should Legs stand on Arms? If only they can work together, everything will be perfect. From the oral tradition of Liberia comes a magical creation story.

Head, Body, Legs is available from bookstores and online merchants.
