Anancy downunder (A weh me deh?) / written by Jigzie Campbell ; illustrated by Michelle Hallet

"This little black spider Anancy is West African. He’s a trickster with magical powers, when necessary, to change himself into a small man. Anancy the spider, sailed to the West Indies, hundreds of years ago in the first fleet of British cargo ships, laden with hundreds of West African slaves to the Caribbean Islands. Since his arrival, Anancy settled in one of the beautiful Caribbean Islands. He had no desire to leave this island, even though hundreds of years have passed since his arrival. Lately, Anancy felt the urgency to travel, explore other lands, meet new people and interact with different animals.His mind up, he quickly gathered some belongings and raced to the seaport for an adventure to who knows where."--Back cover.
