About This Book
When your child gets discouraged after failing at something new, this book offers a joyful and spirited model of perseverance. It tells the story of Lami, a girl in a West African village who is known as the best chicken-catcher around. But one clever chicken proves to be her match, leading to a hilarious chase that requires more than just speed. The story beautifully illustrates the power of observation, patience, and creative thinking. For early elementary readers, this book is a vibrant, funny, and encouraging reminder that it’s okay to fail and that trying a new way is often the key to success, all within a warm family setting.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The central conflict is a low-stakes, humorous chase. While it is culturally implied that the chicken is being caught for a family meal, this is not the focus and is handled as a normal part of life, not a moment of peril or sadness. The resolution is entirely positive and empowering.
