(3) 4-6 Illustrated by P. J. Lynch. Issa finds a baby in the desert and lovingly raises the girl, teaching her to be a guide like himself; when Issa goes blind, Mariama becomes his eyes. One day the kind pair guides a band of travelers who change their lives. The imagined West Africa setting is enchantingly crisp in both the poetic prose and in Lynch's lavish watercolor and gouache paintings.
