Kilaka, John

Schneller Hase

A picture book from Tanzania

The animals are thirsty, there is a lack of water. But the ravenous crocodile lurks in the river and does not want to share. It demands an offering to satisfy its hunger. For the big animals it is clear: the sacrifice must be a small animal. Hare is to be caught, but he nimbly runs away and takes refuge in a cave. Tanzanian artist John Kilaka tells this fast-paced story about solidarity and cohesion.
