I love reading tall tales and myths with children. I believe that these genres can impart important lessons, and that's exactly what this new children's book, A Tall Tale: How the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs, does. This picture book promotes the values of positive communities and teamwork, making it a fantastic addition to any elementary classroom.

Publisher’s Book Summary: "This is the story of two rival communities living in valleys separated by a ridge. The Have-Alls live in a fertile, beautiful valley with their leader, Chief Somebody, and their prized pets, the Squatz. In the other valley, one more desolate and barren, live the No-Haves and their leader, Chief Nobody.
The No-Haves, always jealous of the Have-Alls’ pets, decide to gather the Squatz for themselves. What results is a fierce tug-of-war that changes the two communities—and the Squatz—forever!"
