The Herd Boy

40 pp. | Eerdmans | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5417-9 $17.00
(2) K-3 Herd boy Malusi has grander ambitions: to be president. After making a courageous rescue of their flock from baboons, Malusi and his friend Lungisa see a fancy car drive up. Inside is a man (clearly Nelson Mandela, though unnamed) who offers encouragement to Malusi to pursue his dream. Daly's expansive illustrations highlight the beauty of the South African landscape's rocky austerity. Glos.
