Produktbeschreibung

The Wishing Needle is adapted from a Ugandan folktale. I first heard this story when I visited my grandmother. I listened to my grandmothers stories every evening. My grandmother called her chickens by name. She owned about twenty-eight chickens. She woke up very early every day to let them out in the yard and to peck the ground for food. One day, my grandmothers favorite chicken, Toke, disappeared. We were all saddened by Tokes disappearance. That evening, as we sat by the fire, looking perplexed, grandmother started to narrate the story of The Wishing Needle.

Autorenporträt

Dinah Senkungu was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, but now reside in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, in the United States of America. She is an active volunteer of community events, a platform she uses to convey her experiences and understanding of various cultures. Her experiences have given her prospective that transcends oceans, people, race, and religions. She argues that everyone can recall what it is to be a child and now can read stories and be an African child. The mind is an amazing place to explore and ponder, and that is what she attempts to inspire in others. The subject matter that she generally writes about is almost exclusively folklore and children stories based on her experiences in Uganda. She attempts to transcribe the great history of oral tales that originate from Uganda-these stories as you know have enchanted children through generations. She also attempts to present heroes and heroines that can inspire children to take part in their community and aspire them to be greater than the situations they come from. Now, it is with great pleasure and pride that she attempt to retell these stories to all children.
