Overview
Marcia Brown illustrates an impactful adaptation of a folk tale about resilience and survival told through the rise of a bright blue jackal as he becomes king of the jungle.
Hungry and lost, a poor jackal journeys into a village only to be chased out of it by a pack of vicious dogs. Trying to escape the threat, the jackal jumps into a pool of indigo dye and emerges with a coat of bright blue fur.
When he returns to the forest with his new, extraordinary color, the timid jackal is now the king of the forest. With expressive and decorative illustrations, Marcia Brown is able to "magnify the impact" of this classic Indian folklore (Kirkus Reviews).
