Author: Peter Seeger and Paul DuBois Jacobs
Illustrator: Michael Hays
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Pub. Date: 2001

Genre: Cultural Folktale Picture Book
Grades: K-3

This story is about a little girl, who helps saves the town. The story starts with the town's flooding and drought problems. The people try to build a dam, but they cannot move a boulder that is in the way. The little girl comes up with a plan to bring back Abiyoyo and have him move the boulder. Abiyoyo is a giant, who eats people, that was made to disappear earlier by her father and grandfather. The little girl wants to bring him back for help, but many are unsure if this is a good thing to do. Everyone finally agrees to bring him back, but before they do, everyone makes plenty of good food to eat so that he will not want to eat them up. They also practice their singing, since Abiyoyo seemed to like music before. Her grandfather used his magic wand to bring back Abiyoyo. Abiyoyo eats up the food. The little girl asks him if he is strong enough to move the boulder, so Abiyoyo moves it to show his strength. He then shares that he is still hungry. The people told him that there was no more food, so they start singing a song, "Abiyoyo." Abiyoyo likes that it is his song and starts dancing. When he gets tired, he falls asleep. This is grandpa's chance to return Abiyoyo, but his wand got broke when the boulder was thrown. The little girl helps again with the town coming together to share food with Abiyoyo, and Abiyoyo learning to be part of the little girl's family.

Activities:
1. The students will do a problem-solution lesson. With the use of a T-chart, the students will learn to recognize problems in the story and then the solution.

2. The teacher could read the first book, "Abiyoyo" by Peter Seeger, to the students. The students could sing the song "Abiyoyo" with the CD that comes with the book. Then the students could act out the stories while the CD is playing.(less)
