Book Synopsis



A basketball prodigy learns the importance of valuing others' skills when a terrible storm decimates their hometown and he's unable to use his talents to help.

Afolabi and Bongani live in the Heart of Malawi. Afolabi is gifted with height and jaw-dropping basketball skills and accepts a recruitment contract to play basketball for a university in the U.S. Bongani, much shorter than his older brother, is a master craftsman. His carpentry skills are unmatched, but often overlooked in the shadow of his brother's career.

When Afolabi returns home and a huge storm leaves many homes in shambles, he feels powerless to help. However, Bongani has a plan to give Afolabi and the community enduring hope and a way to rebuild.

This narrative, written in rhyme, is perfect for 3rd grade students to 5th graders and helps teach respect, kindness, and innovation.
