Why this book should exist

Most children's books I had as a child were British or American. None were set in places I recognised.

I want to write a smart, beautiful, joyful chapter book set in a place real Rwandan children can point to.

It's an adventure story. There's a lost goat. There's a stolen quarry. There's friendship.
