Atinuke
In a Nigerian village, Lami is known as the quickest and bravest chicken catcher. While people around her have their own talents—spelling, braiding hair, or dealing with bulls—Lami chases chickens. One pursuit sends her up a baobab tree, where reaching too far brings an “ow.” Spare, alliterative wording accompanies bold mixed-media illustrations. Atinuke wrote this 32-page book.
