Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters: An African Tale by John Steptoe

3.0

Manyara and Nyasha are sisters; while Nyasha is kind and considerate, Manyara is selfish and bad-tempered. When their father, Mufaro, learns that the king has decided to take a wife, he decides to send both girls. Along the way, Manyara's selfish nature is revealed, and the king chooses Nyasha as queen.

A modern fable with inspiration from different countries in Africa. The illustrations are beautiful.
