Set in the dry-season Rift Valley, this lyrical fable follows Mchamza, a mgunga tree torn between preserving his most precious branch for seed dispersal and giving it to a pair of weaverbirds who have nowhere else to nest. Woven with Kiswahili and grounded in East African ecology, the story explores sacrifice, legacy, and what it truly means to honour the people who shaped us. A warm, emotionally honest bedtime read for a child learning what it costs to choose.
A Nest of Thorns
A young mgunga tree must choose: his mother's dying wish, or the birds who need his branch to survive.
