Read the beautifully illustrated book Handa's Hen by Eileen Browne. In this story the children will learn about Handa, a young girl from the Luo tribe, who feeds breakfast to Mondi, her grandma's black hen, every morning. This morning, however, Mondi is nowhere to be seen. So Handa and her friend Akeyo set off to find her. Where could Mondi be? Pause throughout the book and ask the children questions about the animals and things they notice on the pages.
