Sugarfoots Tattle
Bok av Barbara El Wilson
"Sugar roads and sugar toes
Sugarfoots and all that glows
In my hand the stones will be
And my imagination will
Always be with me..."
And with that, the Sugarfoots dolls come to life and Babelle, a young African-American girl who is the appointed caretaker of the Sugarfoots, magically arranges a trip to the continent of West Africa! In the blink of an eye they have landed in Keta a little costal village, in Ghana, West Africa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Luckily for them, Abla, a Ghanaian born girl, has been awaiting there arrival and is very excited to see them. She cannot wait to take them to her village in Agbozume, to see the many every day sites of Ghana.
The Sugarfoots are full of questions, thirsty, hungry and eager to find out what folktales they can learn about and take them back to their Sugarfoots village. Abla, who is a very clever storyteller, has the perfect folktale in store for them.
In a bustling world of video mania, children as well as parents will delight in taking a break from the keyboard to learn about Abla's small Ghanaian village and experience the joy of folklore. Stories that have been passed down for generations will intrigue young minds and bring smiles of remembrance from parents about these dubious fables of yesteryear with a fresh new twist.
It will be up to them to determine if the folktale is true or not
