Stubborn

When a stubborn donkey refuses to cross the narrow suspension bridge above the Tis Abay (Great Smoke) waterfall on the Blue Nile near Lake Tana, Ethiopia, a frustrated older sister is inspired to try a new way to help her frightened little brother cross it, too. Based on a true experience lived and written by mother/daughter team Ellenore and Leyla Angelidis about a visit to Leyla’s birth country. Illustrated by brilliant Ethiopian fine artist Eyayu Genet, who is considered “an artist of national consciousness” and operates a gallery for his stunning work in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia’s alternative art corner.
