“An easy bedtime tale with a special affection for nighttime.” – Kirkus
Even long ago, there was day and night. The day was full of light and warmth, and people and animals alike rejoiced in the rays of the sun. But what happens when people get greedy and take the Night for granted? What will become of the Earth and those who dwell upon it? Humans, turtles, elephants, monkeys, cheetahs, and rhinos all need to know!
Katherine Jumbe masterfully brings the world of the Malawian savanna to life, telling a rhythmic tale perfect for bedtime. Rich illustrations by Shana Dixon depict Baby Mwana and her older Sister Alekachawo as they trek up the great Sky Road to bring the heavens back into balance.
Perfect for:
- Pre-schoolers to early elementary-aged children
- Parents looking for African representation in a picture book
- Fans of Berry Song, Where Wonder Grows, and Soul Food Sunday
