This tale from the Sukuma people of Tanzania - the third such folkloric retelling I have read from Bernstein and Kobrin, following upon How the Sun Made a Promise and Kept It, and The Summer Maker - explains how the first morning came to be. Like the classic tale type in which fire is won from the gods, this is a story in which light is won for the earth, and is well-told. Enid Warner Romanek's black and white illustrations are simple and bold, with some folk art appeal to them. I know very little about the Sukuma, but I found myself wondering whether her depiction of the King (as seen on the front cover), was at all based on their aesthetic traditions. ( )
