This is a retelling of a traditional African myth, which has been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

There was a time when all the animals were friends: the antelope, the leopard, the zebra, the lion, the elephant and the human-kind.

They also all loved honey. They would follow the honey-guide bird in procession.

Honey it was, though, that one day led the animals to quarrel.

The book is illustrated with watercolours. Francesca Martin has also written "Lottie's Cats".
