Editorial Review

“Barbara Knutson clearly has the gift of storytelling.How the Guinea Fowl Got Her Spots is an endearing retelling of a Swahili story, in which Ms. Knutson has woven together the elements of a wonderful friendship and a traditional ‘explanation’ folktale to create a fine and appealing new story. . . she combines lively language and bold art so deftly.”
