African Tales and Myths
Description
Ananse the spider wants to gather back all the wisdom he thinks he has wasted on the villagers, but his quest to reclaim what he's given away leads him to an unexpected lesson. This African folk tale follows a clever spider and his son as they navigate a story about knowledge, generosity, and what it really means to be wise. Ananse's misadventures show readers that wisdom, once shared, cannot be taken back and sometimes the greatest lessons come from letting go.
