Igbo folktale

Step into the colorful world of African folktales in this fun and wise story of Mbe the Tortoise—a clever trickster who learns a very painful lesson about greed, honesty, and consequences.

When the birds are invited to a grand feast in the sky, Mbe wants to go too—but he can’t fly! Through sweet talk and borrowed feathers, he manages to join the journey. But what happens when he plays a greedy trick and eats all the food meant for everyone? And how does a surprising fall from the sky lead to his rough, cracked shell?

This beautifully illustrated Igbo folktale is full of laughter, lessons, and colorful characters your children will love. Perfect for family reading, classroom storytelling, and cultural education.

📚 What children will learn:

• Why it’s important to share
• Why lies and tricks always backfire
• That every action has a consequence

A delightful blend of tradition and imagination that brings the wisdom of the Igbo culture to life.
