Thirty years later...
The little town that was once threatened by the giant Abiyoyo has grown
by leaps and bounds. But now that the townspeople have chopped down all
their trees, every year they have floods and droughts. Worse yet,
there's a giant boulder blocking up the site of their new dam! Something
has to be done.
Well, the young boy who helped make Abiyoyo disappear way back when now
has a little girl of his own. And she knows the only way to save the
town: Bring back Abiyoyo to help move the boulder. "Bring back Abiyoyo?"
the townspeople cry. "The giant that eats people up?" But the little
girl has a plan for that, too....
Fifteen years after Pete Seeger's storysong "Abiyoyo" came to life as a
picture book, his beloved giant is back in a wonderful new story. With
Michael Hays's brilliant illustrations and a sing-along score included,
Abiyoyo Returns is destined to become a family favorite.
