Three Tales Tall: Sungura. The Great Bell of China. Bruh Rabbit (in English)
Synopsis "Three Tales Tall: Sungura. The Great Bell of China. Bruh Rabbit (in English)"
FOLK LITERATURE / CREATIVE WRITING"Three Tales Tall" is a series of books that feature three diverse stories and folktales. Retold, adapted or written by J'miah Nabawi, Three Tales Tall is consistent with his brand of engaging spontaneity during storytelling performances as he takes the same improvisational liberties with contemporary and classic versions of stories and traditional folktales. J'miah prefers literary works and orature that can be readily shaped into impromptu musical interludes and rhythmic play. The Three Tales Tall books themselves are dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the timeless art of storytelling and a celebration of oral traditions. The Three Tales Tall series of books are also J'miah Nabawi's way of advocating for the publishing and perpetuation of traditional animal tales, folktales that are in fact hardly ever told and are still vibrant with the wisdom of life. In this Three Tales Tall edition, Sungura (Kenya, East Africa), The Great Bell of China (China), and Bruh Rabbit (Southeastern United States' South Carolina Lowcountry) offer enjoyable reading, classroom and group discussion, and some good old-fashioned storytelling.
