Mamo On the Mountain (Picture Puffin S.) - Softcover
Mamo, a poor Ethiopian cowherd, rises to the challenge of his rich master and spends a night in the freezing mountains wearing just a thin garment. The prize promised is four cows and a bag of money but failure will mean that Mamo and his sister will lose their jobs. Mamo survives but his master refuses to honour his promise. All the servants are on Mamo's side and use their skills to outwit their bullying master. Mamo and his sister begin a better life but always remember their poorer friends and give food and help.

About the Author:
Synopsis:
Judith Kurtz grew up in a small Ethiopian village where she first heard Mamo's story. She is a former teacher and director of an American alternative school, and also the author of ALMAZ AND THE LION. Judith now lives in Dakota, USA.
E B Lewis began studying art as a child at Saturday morning classes. He now teaches and exhibits his work. This is his first picture book; he also lives in the USA.
In a village high in the mountains of Ethiopia, shepherd boy Mamo and his devoted sister are servants in a rich man's house. But when their boastful master challenges Mamo to spend a night alone in the bitter cold, quick wits, as well as courage, are called for.
