Description:
Nature is Wise is a vibrant collection of modern folktales rooted in the rich oral traditions of the Yoruba people—specially written for curious children and the adults who read with them. Presented in English, German, and Yoruba, this trilingual book is a joyful gateway into storytelling, language learning, and moral growth.
At the heart of these tales are the birds of the wild: proud Hawk, generous Cattle Egret, silent Duck, gentle Hen, wise Vulture, watchful Eagle, clumsy Ostrich, and tireless Woodpecker. Each creature carries a lesson—about pride, greed, courage, boundaries, and the natural consequences of one’s choices.
In this collection, children will discover:
How even the strongest wings falter when pride flies too high.
Why Duck’s stillness can speak louder than Hawk’s boasts.
How Woodpecker’s promise echoes with loyalty and quiet strength.
That generosity, once betrayed, can lead to lonely fields and broken trust.
Through these beautifully illustrated parables, Nature Speaks helps children reflect on their emotions, understand others, and recognize the quiet power of character. Whether it’s Hawk’s betrayal or Vulture’s cunning bet, every tale encourages meaningful conversations about kindness, fairness, and self-awareness.
Perfect for bedtime, story-time, or classroom reading, this book turns ancient wisdom into playful, profound moments families can cherish together.
