Summary
Kenya can’t seem to get anything right. When her teacher asks her to bring in the word that names her favorite animal, she brings in the animal itself–a live tarantula! What will happen when she is asked to choose her favorite describing word? Warm, expressive illustrations show the cultural richness and diversity of Kenya’s world.
