Join Adam and Maya as they discover one of Africa's most extraordinary countries - Rwanda, the Land of a Thousand Hills!

From the moment their plane descends over an endless carpet of green hills, Adam and Maya know that Rwanda is unlike anywhere they have been before. Their guide, Umutoni - a history teacher and cultural guide - takes them on an unforgettable journey through a country that is at once breathtakingly beautiful and deeply inspiring.

They trek through the misty forests of the Volcanoes National Park and come face to face with mountain gorillas - one of the world's most endangered animals, and one of Rwanda's greatest national treasures. They sail along the shores of Lake Kivu, one of Africa's most spectacular lakes. They wake up early to join the Umuganda, Rwanda's famous monthly community clean-up, where every citizen - from schoolchildren to the President - grabs a broom and cleans their neighbourhood together.

Along the way, they discover Imigongo, a stunning traditional art form made from natural materials, taste iconic Rwandan dishes like ibihaza and isombe, and learn to greet, thank and say goodbye in Kinyarwanda. They also visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where Umutoni gently helps them understand one of history's darkest moments - and the remarkable story of reconciliation and rebuilding that followed.

Rwanda is a country that has faced unimaginable pain and chosen, against all odds, to rise. Through Adam and Maya's eyes, young readers will discover a nation of resilience, community, dignity and hope.

Packed with culture, history, nature and heart, this book is perfect for curious readers aged 7 to 12 who want to understand the world - and their place in it.
