Jabuti the Tortoise: A Trickster Tale from the online marketplaces. In the rainforest, Jabutí's music is both a joy and a reminder. His flute playing brings happiness to some, but also tricks others into feeling foolish. When Vulture offers to take Jabuti to heaven, he sees an opportunity for revenge. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that creation can sometimes come from chaos. Gerald McDermott's vibrant illustrations bring this unusual tale to life. A trickster's fall from grace is revealed in a story that explores the power of music and the consequences of our actions. This charming tale is well suited to readers who enjoy stories about animals and their adventures.
