Mumsi, a Samburu boy, has heard stories about lions. He knows that if he ever meets a lion he must not move or breathe--and above all, he must not run. But when Mumsi comes face to face with a simba on the dark forest path, it takes all his strength and courage to do the right thing. Colorful illustrations and simple Swahili words add cultural flavor to this heartwarming story. For ages 2-6.
