Synopsis

This book is one in a series of children’s reading books that was created for early grade readers in Malawi by Lakeland College art students. Each story is told in an English version and in a separate Chichewa version. All art is original work created by the Lakeland student-artist named on the title page, and all of the story text was written by the young Malawian author named on the title page. The first edition of this book was printed through Lakeland College in 2014. The second edition, however, has been re-edited and published by Pebblebrook Press, an imprint of Stoneboat Literary Journal, in order to offer the series to a wider readership.
