Description
A powerful fable about the dangers of power taken by force. In this illustrated tale, Chinua Achebe explores themes of liberation and justice through the story of a leopard king who must reclaim his throne from an outsider. Once all the animals lived in harmony, but when one animal's sharp teeth and aggressive nature threatened the balance, the leopard king was forced to defend himself. The result was a dramatic struggle for power that would change the lives of all the animals forever. Vibrant color brings this unforgettable tale to life through Mary GrandPré's expressive paintings, making it a riveting read for young readers.
