February Meeting: When Chickens Fly and other Tales by Selma Tufail.

 

February will bring us an amazing book written and illustrated by Selma Tufail.

The outline of the book in Amazon describes it with the following words:

CON YANCI: When Chickens Fly, and the other short stories in this series are allegories inspired by the Lakota legend, Iktomi and the Ducks. In this Native American legend, a spider called Iktomi persuades some gullible ducks to enter his hut and then kills them for dinner. The message is simple: be an independent thinker and don’t be fooled by confidence tricksters.

The message in CON YANCI: When Chickens Fly relates to global challenges faced by women and girls especially when it comes to education. The trickster-spider here is called Yanci. Every story in this series has a different theme that is relevant to issues in the 21st century.
