Years later, Si Tanggang returns to the village where he was born. When his mother recognizes him and welcomes him with love, he is ashamed of her poor appearance and refuses to admit that she is his mother.
A terrible storm soon strikes the sea, and Si Tanggang realizes the consequences of his cruel actions. This beautifully illustrated children's story brings the traditional Malay folktale to life through simple English, colourful scenes, and expressive characters.
