In the lively alleyways of Dire Dawa, where the scent of sambusas mingles with the distant laughter of hyenas, a young girl begins to understand what courage truly means. Through six stories woven with tenderness, challenge, and humanity, this collection blurs the boundaries between memory and myth. Accessible to readers of all ages, this book celebrates boldness, joy, and the quiet yet powerful bravery embodied by a child with dusty sandals and a lion's heart.
Alongside the narratives, the book offers comprehension, discussion, and writing activities, inviting readers to deepen their experience through reflection, analysis, and creative exploration.
