Rico, a cranky old monkey, was blessed with an abundance of
bananas. So great was his selfishness
that he failed to consider the needs of others even though he had more than
enough to spare. But when tragedy befell
Rico, he came to realize that his own careless and selfish ways were to
blame. When the same animals he had
turned away helped Rico he soon learned that performing small acts of kindness
can bring great joy to others as well as to himself.
The Blessed Bananas, by Tayyaba Syed, is a lovely book with
a powerful message about sharing and caring for others. Lovely illustrations by Melani Putri, help
further enhance this book which is recommended for home and school libraries
and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.
