pickZambia #foodandlit I struggled so much to find a book from/about Zambia- then last week discovered this one- and learned the Harpers Ferry library had it- where it had been mis-shelved- but they found it! And it is perfect and brutiful with a genuine picture of animal conservation, the bonds of animals and beauty and strength of animals. I fell in love with Bulu. There are some brutal moments in this true story that had me bawling, 👇
Chrissyreadit So while I recommend it for upper elementary to adult it may be much for a tender hearted person. I will specify under a spoiler for anyone wanting more info. I‘m so glad I did not give up on reading from Zambia 🧡. My food is a smoothie I made with modifications- guava nectar, pineapple and mango with oatmeal and coconut milk. It was delicious. 3y
Chrissyreadit Bulu goes missing and had been attacked by a lion. His injuries are brutal and discussed in detail. His survival and the procedures are also detailed and fascinating. Reminding me of how privileged we are. 3y
Catsandbooks Glad your smoothie was good! I think I would have a tough time with this book as I am sensitive to animals being harmed. 2y
Butterfinger I'm so glad that you found something. I worried about you. 2y
Chrissyreadit @Butterfinger you‘re so sweet! I would have read a picture book if I had to. This one was also YA 2y
