The Sweetest Mango

Raw, green, sour and crunchy. Or ripe, golden, plump and soft. Summer time is mango time, a time children wait for blazing sun, sticky mango juice ringing their mouths and dripping down their fingers. The sweet, simple story and luscious pictures evoke delicious flavours of hot days, warm friendships and the smell of mango in the air.
