The Beekeeper of Lalibela, by Cristina Kessler
Illustrated by Abebe Kassaye. Translated from English to Amharic by Rahel Mekuria.
The Beekeeper of Lalibela is the fourth bilingual English/Amharic children's book that has been published by EthiopiaReads.org.
The story starts: "Long ago, high in the mountains of Ethiopia, where purple shadows fill the valleys and hillsides, the bees arrived in Lalibela. Some said they came to announce the birth of a new king, while others thought only of their honey -- sweet, rich, and golden. As the centuries passed and the word spread, villagers poured in from far and near to buy the sweet nectar."
This book was published in Addis Ababa for the purpose of fundraising for EthiopiaReads. All proceeds from the purchase of The Beekeeper of Lalibela go to EthiopiaReads.org and its' current and future projects.
