Every Leaf a Hallelujah

By: Ben Okri

Narrated by: Ben Okri

An environmental fairy tale made for our times, written to be listened to by adults and children, from the Booker Prize winning author of The Famished Road.

Mangoshi lives with her mum and dad in a village near the forest. When her mum becomes ill, Mangoshi knows only one thing can help her - a special flower that grows deep in the forest.

The little girl needs all her courage when she sets out alone to find and bring back the flower and all her kindness to overpower the dangers she encounters on the quest.

Ben Okri brings the power of his mystic vision to a timely story that weaves together wonder, adventure and environmentalism.
