A Story, a Story is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Gail E. Haley that retells the African tale of how the trickster Anansi obtained stories from the Sky God to give to the children of the earth. The book was produced after Gail E. Haley spent a year in the Caribbean researching the African roots of many Caribbean tales.[1] Released by Atheneum, it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1971.[2]
