Written for children ages 8 and above, this book is a true story of a
young American girl's first visit to her father's homeland, Kenya, to
visit her grandmother. A glossary of Swahili words and a map add to the
book's usefulness. It is especially recommended for classroom and school
library use. The book cover and illustrations are by award-winnng artist
David Jarvis, whose past credits include the sound track album cover from
the popular television mini-series "Roots." “…Suzanne's personal story is
a way to introduce information about ecology, customs, food, and
geography…“ -Hazel Rochman, ALA Booklist “…a gentle guide which manages to
convey the warmth of family ties and the diversity of an African country.“
