The Magic Orange Tree and other Haitian Folktales
This book is exactly as its title suggests, a book of Haitian Folk Tales. I thought it would be an interesting read with the Haitian Earthquake in the near past. We have a family at our school, who is from Port au Prince and lost family members during the tragedy. This book gave some interesting and very quirky stories. It did seem to be a bit dry though and did not hold my interest. I do not think I would advise buying this for a library, but may look into the multiple volumes for an audio version which may add more pizazz to the stories.
