Jalal and the Lake
A Meranaw Tale / a bilingual storybook for ages 5 - 8
In Jalal's small village, everyone celebrates the bounty and beauty of their vast lake. Everyone, that is, except Jalal. Jalal doesn't notice the lake, its bounty, or his people's wishes. His only desire is to own the magical, puffy clouds in the sky. When strange men come to the village and offer to grant his wish, Jalal finally learns what the lake means to his people.
