description: With its bold, evocative art and rich prose, this original folktale by a Nigerian-born author deals with the power of children to change custom and therefore to change their world. Nna-nna, who is blind and very old, is much beloved by the children in his village. When he dies and the children mourn, they learn to accept his death--and an even richer lesson about the value of life.
