Description:
A horrible drought has settled on the desert plain, leaving animals weak with thirst. Rabbit discovers a juicy pear tree, but it is guarded by a vicious tiger in no mood to share. Working together, the animals overcome this obstacle in a most unexptectd way.

Written for children by Dr. jeff obafemi carr, this musical is a heartwarming adaptation of an African folktale, infusing lessons on the importance of sharing and the value of diversity with original jazz and blues music your students will love.
