This is an unusual perspective, telling the story of a normal day in a Kenyan village in the second person. The little boy forgets his chore of watching Grandfather's cows to run about the village saying goodmorning to everyone, the village baker, the chief, his grandmother. It is charming and bright and playful, using bright colors and interesting size perspectives to give it a bit of a surreal feel, but in a good way. I like the way the whole village is close and friendly.

Right from the language, way of addressing the reader, illustration and characters, the plot and alignment with text and characters, a very well told story.

"What's it like to live in a place where monkeys scurry past and a tasty snack is a bug plucked from the sky?"

About a boy who is herding cows, but gets excited and distracted in the daily activities of the others in the village. The language is direct and addresses the reader for example "then just for a moment you slip away to see who is awake".

Introduces some Swahili words and phrases during the course of the story

This beautifully illustrated picture book describes a young Mauritanian girl’s desire to wear a malafa, a colorful cloth worn over the head and body, just as her mother and other women in her life do. A refreshingly positive view of this oftenmaligned Muslim apparel.

It is a good book to show children how other children live in another country and the responsibilities they have.
