One Hen is the latest title from the creators of If The World Were
a Village, Tree of Life and One Well. It is the perfect way to
introduce children to the concept and importance of sustainable
development. One Hen tells the story of Kojo, a young Ghanaian boy
who uses a micro loan to buy a chicken, so he can sell the eggs to
make money. Through hard work, Kojo soon earns enough to go back to
school. He grows up to own his own farm, employing many people in
his village, and contributing to Ghana's development. The story
illustrates how a small loan can have a huge impact on many
people's lives if used in the right way. Striking artwork and
'House that Jack Built'-style captions lead the reader through
Kojo's progress. At the end of the book, the story of the real-life
Kojo is told.
In this fictionalized story about a real humanitarian problem
facing many countries in the developing world today, readers meet
Mimi, an ordinary girl from an ordinary family in Africa. When her
younger sister, Nakkissi, gets very sick after drinking
unsterilized water from the stream, Mimi learns firsthand how
quickly things can go terribly wrong. With no health care provider
close by, her whole family must travel on foot to a nearby village
to see the one nurse who can provide the medical care her sister
desperately needs. Though Mimi is relieved when her sister
recovers, she wishes they could get a health clinic in her own
village. Several months later, it is Mimi herself who becomes the
catalyst to make her wish come true. Author Katie Smith Milway, a
former aid worker in Africa, has written the best kind of global
education book for children, filled with information that engenders
empathy and understanding. The picture-book format with captivating
artwork by award-winning illustrator Eugenie Fernandes brings
Mimi's story to life. Along with further information, a glossary
and a map, an addendum includes suggestions for how young children
can get involved, highlighting how inexpensive, easy-to-make
improvements can transform people's lives. This terrific book would
find many uses in elementary classrooms, including lessons on
African culture, African family life and the basic health care
needs of people everywhere. Most important, it offers opportunities
for inspiring discussions about compassion, volunteerism and making
a difference in one's own community and the larger world community.
