Book 1 · A Caribbean tale for ages 5–8 High in the green hills of Uphill Teavalley, every house has a garden until a strange brown-and-white dog comes wandering up the path with a belly that will not stop rumbling. As Hungry the Dog eats his way through every cassava patch and mango tree, the children's bellies are rumbling too.
Then, wise old Grandma Toe steps forward and teaches Hungry three lessons her own grandmother taught her: that food comes from work, that food comes from patience, and that food is always sweeter when shared.
Rooted in Caribbean and African wisdom, this is the first book in the Tales from Uphill Teavalley series, perfect for read-aloud time, bedtime, and classroom sharing.
