Summary: A Wonderful Learning Experience
Comment: THE WISDOM BIRD is the story of the meeting of two cultures.....Black African and Jewish, told through the legendary meeting of Solomon and Sheba. It also presents parents and teachers with a wonderful opportunity to teach children respect for other cultures, and the creatures of the earth. In the story, a small bird uses its wisdom to convince a king and queen that they are acting in an immoral way. The bird's ingenious tactics can lead children to understandings about human nature, and the book is a wonderful jumping off point for discussions with kids. The artwork is beautiful. I give this one an A plus!

Summary: Disturbing
Comment: The illustrations in this book greatly disturb me. Because, from my understanding King Solomon was a black man. I think it is a great insult to the original people of this planet that you make the man proclaimed to be the wisest leader ever out to be a caucasian. You do a disservice to white society by elevating the notion of white supremacy and a disservice to the black man by falsifying his past.
The illustrations in this book need to be redone or the book pulled from publication.
