Beautiful Blackbird

Who is the most beautiful bird? Blackbird, of course. All the other birds, all colors of the rainbow, envy Blackbird his beauty, and they beg Blackbird to share a bit of his beautiful black color with them. And so he does, painting black on the neck of a dove, and adding black spots here on this bird, and putting black lines there on another bird.

A celebration of the color black based on a folktale from Zambia.
