Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti by Gerald McDermott (Folk tale)

Anansi is a spider that had six sons. On day Anansi traveled a long way from home and got lost. One of the sons names, See Trouble, could see that their father was in trouble so they all went to help him. After they saved him, later that night Anansi saw this big bright light in the sky and wanted to give it to one of the sons, but he couldn't chose who to give it too. He prayed to Nyame, the God of all things, for help. In end, Nyame took the bight light high into the sky for everyone to see and it remained there for all the sons to share.

I would use this book to discuss the illustrations of the book and discuss the language that was used. Do these people use those words in their language? Is this a story they pass down from generations? I would have them make connections to other stories or even their lives.
