The Lion's Share

The hungry animals of the Somali forest have worked together to hunt and kill a fat camel. Now they must decide how to divide the meat fairly. Will the portions be equal? Not with the lion in charge! This picture book version of a popular Somali folktale will help children understand why "the lion's share" is not always fair. This book is part of the Somali Bilingual Book Project coordinated by the Minnesota Humanities Commission. It is written Said Salah Ahmed and illustrated by kelly Dupre.
