Bookroo's summary

Zomo the rabbit, a cunning trickster from West Africa, seeks wisdom from the Sky God. To earn it, he must complete three seemingly impossible tasks. As Zomo embarks on this daring quest, will his cleverness outwit the challenges, or will the tasks prove too daunting? Dive into this vibrant tale of mischief and adventure, where every twist brings Zomo closer to his goal—or further from it. Can a trickster truly outsmart the divine?

From the publisher

Zomo the rabbit, a trickster from West Africa, wants wisdom. But he must accomplish three apparently impossible tasks before Sky God will give him what he wants. Is he clever enough to do as Sky God asks? “The tale moves along with the swift concision of a good joke, right down to its satisfying punch line.”–Publishers Weekly “Wildly exuberant, full of slapstick and mischief, this version of an enduring Nigerian trickster tale, featuring a clever rabbit, is a storyteller’s delight.”–Booklist
