A glimpse inside

A gentle rural mystery set on a Kenyan farm, where Zuri's visit to her grandmother turns into a hands-on detective adventure. When the sweet potato patch is raided overnight, Zuri learns to read tracks, follow clues, and build her own solution, modelling curiosity, observation, and the quiet confidence that comes from solving a problem yourself. A calm, sleep-friendly story rooted in East African village life and the bond between a grandmother and grandchild.
