The Adventures of Baraka Blackbird
Baraka Blackbird is bored with her home. Her friend the Mbuyu tree tells her: “Your wings are the gift of freedom, so fly.” She follows her friend’s advice and explores new lands, makes new friends, and discovers the wonderful courage that can be achieved by facing one’s fears. The Adventures of Baraka Blackbird is a charming allegorical tale that author Blessing Musariri delivers with a light, sparkling hand.
