Zomo the Rabbit


A Trickster Tale from West Africa

Told and Illustrated by 
Gerald McDermott

Harcourt

He is not big.
He is not strong.
But he is VERY clever!

Zomo the Rabbit, a West African trickster, is very small in a very big world.  Clever, courageous, and irrepressible, he must accomplish three impossible tasks before Sky God will give him what he wants: wisdom.  Is the little rabbit clever enough to do it?

A classic trickster character, Zomo is brought to life by Gerald McDermott's deft combination of simple rhythmic language and dazzling art influenced by West African design.
