Welcome to Litsy!

“By this time Noko was very tired and very hungry indeed. But his brain was as sharp as the quills on his back. He could see from the villagers' sleek coats and rounded bellies that they were lying. He knew they had food. But how was he going to get some?“

I really liked the illustrations. This feels like a classic folk tale, with crafty characters and morals.

Noko the porcupine comes into a new village as a stranger, looking for food. To trick the greedy villagers into sharing their food, he created quill soup. In the end, they all share a delicious soup with everyone's food.
