Set on a family shamba in Githunguri, Kenya, this rhythmic picture book follows little Njeri as she calls Sikia! to her spotted hen Madoa. Onomatopoeic sounds and Swahili words build a soothing loop of exploration and return, with Mama's soft kitenge always waiting at the doorstep. Ideal for the very youngest listener, this quiet story celebrates the joy of paying attention to the world right outside the door.
Sikia!
Sikia, listen! A little girl, a spotted hen, and the sounds of a Kenyan shamba fill this quiet first book.
