We follow the fascinating story about a beautiful West African princess who is intrigued by a forbidden valley. Her curiosity leads her to discover hidden secrets and in the journey she faces great danger. My 3 year old daughter and 8 year old son really enjoyed this book. My son actually bought it to school to read during his readers workshop and he said “It’s really not a girly book. It’s kind of for everyone.”

Fantastic children’s book about a young girl who doesn’t need a boy to save her, she can save herself. Beautiful illustrations that represent Africa in its best light. Great counter narrative to what is seen in the media today
