Product Overview
From Follett
Includes bibliographical references. When two young Kenyan boys, one Maasai and one Kikuyu, first meet, they are hostile toward each other based on traditional rivalries, but after they suddenly have to work together to save a baby in danger, the boys begin to discover what they have in common.
From the Publisher
Set against the backdrop of the migration of animals from Tanzania to Kenya, First Come The Zebra highlights the importance of sharing. Animals share the grassland, each taking only what it needs, whilst Abaani and Haki, boys of rival tribes, hope that their communities will also find their own way to coexist peacefully and share the land. Within friendship lies a much stronger message about peaceful resolution and hope for the future. This heart-warming, award-winning tale is now out in paperback.
