Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Introduce young readers to the life of a Kenyan child in this sweetly imagined, whimsically illustrated picture book.
Imagine you live in a small Kenyan village, where the sun rises over tall trees filled with doves. You wake to the sound of a rooster's crow, instead of an alarm clock. Your afternoon snack is a tasty bug plucked from the sky, instead of an apple. And rather than kicking a soccer ball across a field, you kick a homemade ball of rags down a dusty road.
But with so much going on around you, it's just as easy for a Kenyan and American child to forget what your mama asked you to do!
"An Anne Schwartz book."
From rooster crow to bedtime, a Kenyan boy plays and visits neighbors all through his village, even though he is supposed to be watching his grandfather's cows.
Ages 3-7.
