What do China, Africa, and South America all have in common? Superheroes!!!
Before Spiderman, there was Anansi the cunning Spider from Africa. Watch him weave a web to the sky, tricking Nyame the sky god into setting all the stories free. Ninja Turtles have nothing on Jabuti, the flute-playing turtle from the Amazon rainforest! He saves the other rainforest animals from a giant monster while teaching the audience how to dance and sing and Tian, the Lord of the Cranes from China, gives to the poor just like Robin Hood.
Celebrate our common love of story with these exciting and engaging multi-cultural tales sure to delight a varied family audience ages five and up.
