Handa's Surprise
I was working in the school library, when I stumbled across this book - it brought back memories of when I used to read it both to my own children and also the children in my class.
What is it all about?
This is a beautifully illustrated picture book published by Walker Books. It starts with a foreword that says " The children featured in this book are from the Luo tribe of South West Kenya.
It tells the tale of Handa. She decides to walk to see her friend Akeyo and with her she carries 7 fruits which she thinks Akeyo may like. Now the journey is long way and she carries the fruit on her head in a basket. Along the way she passes many animals, who help themselves to the fruit out of her basket and it looks as if she will have nothing by the time she arrives to see her friend.
However, all is not lost ...
