Professor Hawel was once a young girl who saved her village with clever clay pots. Now she teaches at a great university - until a letter arrives from Dr. Yama, a scientist whose grandparents came from the same river basin. Please come, Yama wrote. Our people need us both.
Together they travel to fields where crops struggle in the changing climate, seek out Elder Samba under the oldest baobab, and listen to Elder Fatima's calabash of seeds that have survived many droughts. What they find - old seed varieties, ancient knowledge of rain signs and soil, and the courage to listen before speaking - grows into something that books alone could never teach: a seed bank that will keep an entire people's wisdom alive.
Perfect for: Children ages 5-8 exploring science, traditional ecological knowledge, climate change, and the idea that honouring all kinds of knowledge grows a better future.
