Why Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom is worth reading
Anansi the spider is one of the best-loved tricksters in West African storytelling, and his tales have been passed down for generations to teach children about honesty, kindness and consequences.
In Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom, Melissa Kudjoe retells one of the most famous Anansi stories for young readers ages 3 to 10, with a gentle life lesson about sharing at its heart. It pairs perfectly with Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock.
