About This Book

The soft cooing of a dove fills the air, fluttering gently into Lindiwe’s yard just when hope feels far away. The rain has soaked the land and washed away the crops, making the fields too wet to plant. But with her grandmother by her side, a tiny bird’s visit might be the beginning of something new and bright.
