Fatima and the Clementine Thieves

Mireille Messier

3.6/5 ( ratings)

"Beautifully accented watercolors from Gabrielle Grimard add to the allure with exotically detailed textiles, landscapes, and architecture. Inspired by the African proverb of the elephants and spiderwebs, Fatima and her friends prove that by working together, even little things can have a big impact."
— Foreword Reviews

Fatima has never seen Grandfather so upset. “Our harvest is ruined,” she says to the spiders. “Without the money from the sale of the clementines, we won’t have enough to buy food or clothes.” The spiders weave a special web to cheer up their friend. But Fatima is too sad to notice. The next morning, the orchard is filled with newly broken trees and even more trampled fruit. “Tonight, we will guard the land,” fumes Grandfather. “I must know who these clementine thieves are!”
