Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale by Verna Aardema

4.0

Is a story about how caused a huge issue and it all started with one person. It sets off a wave effects that ends with the killing of a baby owl. The lion finds out what caused this huge issue and it all comes back to Mosquito. The illustrations are very bold and brightly colored. I love how it has a white background when there is day time and a black background when it is night time. It just adds another layer to the story and it adds another of interest to the story. Both colors bring out the bold colors in the illustrations but the black even more so than the white does.
