In the cold highlands near Maralal, a young herder has spent years reading his family's animals, so when the prized bull falls sick he knows what no one else sees. But his careful knowledge is called a boy's guesswork, and a hasty sale could cost the family the savings that pay his school fees. A CBC Grade 7 story about earned trust, patient attention, and a quiet young voice protecting the family's future.
The Bellow Before Dawn
A young herder's patient knowledge is dismissed as guesswork. Before dawn, he must prove it to save his family's bull.
