**WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING**

"I personally believe this kind of content is excellent for learning-being able to read the story and also hear it in audio or video format really helps. As a first-generation Habesha living in a Western country-like in Europe, North America, and others-I can read it to my son, who is second-generation. For those who can't read Tigrigna, listening repeatedly can truly help them connect with the language and culture."

• Habesha father in the US

"I started to read [Gaby's] book. It's teaching me a lot about a cultura I'd never known. Gracias!"

• Pedro Ramirez-Lopez-Robledo, retired professor of English and Chicano Literature

"I love the warmth and realism of each story. I like reading them over and over. The ability to watch the animated version is so much fun!"

• Gean Van Horn, marketer and sales pro with 30+ years of experience (and the author's dad)

"This is a great story and a great tool! I love the background and the story as told from a child's perspective. The history and cultural insights are fun and helpful. The questions written at the end of each section are helpful prompts to practice speaking in the target language. I would recommend this to anyone hoping to improve their language skills in English or Tigrinya!"

• African American doing volunteer work with Habesha communities in Europe

"The story is truly unique, and I appreciate the way it's been told. The narration adds something special. As a father of three, I often find it challenging to find stories we can share with our children to help them develop their listening skills. That's why this one stood out. It offers something meaningful, both in content and in how it engages young minds."
