“Since the death of his much-loved infant sister, Bonyo Bonyo dreamed of leaving his Kenyan village to get an education, and coming back as a doctor to save the lives of other children. This is a children's book at its best: memorable story, strong illustrations and a theme each child can take to heart.”
-- Becky Milner, Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA
