Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters

Based on the Caldecott Award winning book by John Steptoe. When a great African king desires a wife, only the most worthy and beautiful maidens in the land are invited to his court. Mufaro's pride and joy, his two daughters of very different dispositions, travel across a river and half a day's journey to meet the king. With traditional chanting and African song, this is a Cinderella story celebrating goodness, generosity, and love.
