The Spider and the Waterberry Tree: A Tall African Tale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798887934235)

The Spider and the Waterberry Tree: An African "Tall" Tale is a story about friendship and courage. The spider desperately needs to get water to the waterberry tree that is no match for the heat of the African sun. It seeks the help of passerby clouds, a stream of giggling fish, a family of hungry baboons, and finally, a herd of snobbish elephants.

In the end, it would seem that even the African sun is no match for the friendship between a spider and the waterberry tree that finally gets the help it needs. (Waterberry trees are native to Africa, bear fruit, and depend on low-lying water for their survival.)
