About the author
Ann Nyambura
Githaiga
I was twelve when I decided I would work in a national park. I kept the promise — fifteen years of it, across Tsavo, Laikipia, Samburu and Isiolo, counting elephants, dodging a rhino or two, and helping communities live alongside wildlife.
Now I write, illustrate and publish children's books about the Africa I have spent my life in.

Interactive storytelling, live music and story-and-craft workshops — for schools, libraries and holiday camps.
