Product Description
When young Prince Rakoto is told of his father's death, he cannot accept it. The new king gives his first orders to his royal advisors: "Bring my father back to life!" When they are unable to do so, Rakoto then goes to the Wise Woman--who tells him an enthralling Malagasy tale that helps him begin to accept what has happened. Watercolor illustrations.

This Book Should Be Labeled A Classic June 16, 2000
Paul Martin (Waukesha, WI USA)
Author Rappaport and Illustrator Lewis have done a marvelous job in their treatment of an issue that children are curious of--death. It is not depressing, but it is more of a learning experience for children readers that is easily understood as they're able to empathize with a troubled little boy whose father has died.The illustrations are keen and exhibit people dressed in exotic nineteenth-century Madagascar clothing. I read the story to my four and six-year-olds, and they, as I, loved it!
