Reseña: From Ezra Jack Keats 2015 New Illustrator Honor recipient Evan Turk comes his debut work as author-illustrator: an original folktale that celebrates the power of stories and storytelling. Long long ago like a pearl around a grain of sand the Kingdom of Morocco formed at the edge of the great dry Sahara. It had fountains of cool refreshing water to quench the thirst of the desert and storytellers to bring the people together. But as the kingdom grew the people forgot the dangers of the desert and they forgot about the storytellers too. All but one young boy who came to the Great Square for a drink and found something that quenched his thirst even better: wonderful stories. As he listened to the last storyteller recount the Endless Drought and the Glorious Blue Water Bird he discovered the power of a tale well told. Acclaimed illustrator Evan Turk has created a stunning multidimensional story within a story that will captivate the imagination and inspire a new generation of young storytellers.
