The Most Important Gift of All
Product Information
The Most Important Gift of All by David Conway. Hardcover.
Ama is excited when her baby brother is born, and like all the people of her Kenyan village, she wants to bring him a gift. Because Grandma tells her that love is the most important gift of all, the small girl goes in search of it. In familiar folktale style, she asks the creatures she meets for help, but the weaverbird, the giraffe, and the wise lion can’t help her. Then she becomes lost in the night. She shelters under a baobab tree, and, in the morning light, she find love in a surprising way–when Papa comes for her and carries her home on his shoulders. The beautiful blend of the traditional storytelling pattern and contemporary realism is expressed in Littlewood’s double-page spreads. In pencil, watercolor, and gouache, the pictures show the child close-up with the large animals against the glowing savannah landscape, and then safe at home with her loving family, celebrating the new baby and the lost child found.
