" Wonderful illustrations and the stories and are easily understood by my preschooler. I like the little prayer at the end of each story which helps make the story more personal and opens up conversation (if the child is willing). "

About Desmond Tutu
Desmond Mpilo Tutu (1931-2021) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. In 1986 he was elected archbishop of Cape Town, the highest position in the Anglican Church in South Africa. In 1994, after the end of apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela, Tutu was appointed as chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate apartheid-era crimes. His policy of forgiveness and reconciliation has become an international example of conflict resolution and a trusted method of postconflict reconstruction. He is currently the chair of the Elders, where he gives vocal defense of human rights and campaigns for the oppressed.
