Description
Martin’s third book, Marvellous Mangroves: Myths and Legends, is a compilation of stories from “Mangrove Peoples”—those who live on shorelines where mangroves thrive—from around the world.
Those peoples range from Brazil’s northern states of Parà and Bahia, where the orisha Nanã personifies God as an old lady dressed in purple and white. Other cultures include the Sundarbans people, where Bonobibi is known as the goddess of the tiger as well as the mangrove forests, and, of course, mangrove communities across the Caribbean and West Indies, Australia, China, and Vietnam. With wonderfully evocative illustrations by Daniella Christian, the book is designed both to entertain and enlighten, and includes valuable information for classroom use.
Every purchase will help support the incredible Marvellous Mangroves Curriculum!
