Where Are You Going, Manyoni?

"Manyoni is on her way to school; she gets up at dawn to walk two hours across the plain, along the Limpopo riverbed....As seen in Stock's beautifully rendered impressionistic watercolors...wild animals and birds are on almost every spread—more than 30 in all....A lovely book that draws the reader right in."—Kirkus Reviews.
