Grandma's family has an annual tradition whereby adult sons and their families travel to the village during the month of December.
Here's your chance to learn why the grandchildren must get to Grandma's house before she arrives at the house of thier parents. Wouldn't you like to know how Grandma harvests a banana without using a ladder? Does she climb the banana stalk? Why does Grandma add banana leaves in the cooking pot?
The bananas cook very fast. Is it because of use of firewood as a source of energy, or the story Grandma narrates? She tells them their local Cinderrella story. Just like the grandchildren, you must wonder why a mother digs a hole in the kitchen.
Flip more pages for details of who and why the hole was dug, contents of the faint song with a message, and why the mother of Biraantina and Maasosa does not arrive in the kitchen as fast as their father.
This is a story in a class of its own; reveals, educates and informs while entertaining young readers from the comfort of a chair.
