Nyama and the Eland

“I want to hunt with Father and Kattau,” Nyama told her mother.
“No, we will join the women,” replied her mother, putting her arm around Nyama. “We must dig for roots and berries.”

“I want to hunt with Father and Kattau,” Nyama told her mother.
“No, we will join the women,” replied her mother, putting her arm around Nyama. “We must dig for roots and berries.”

This magical story with its vibrant illustrations will appeal to both young and old.
