Lynne Barasch was inspired to write First Come the Zebra by the beauty of the land and people of Kenya, which she visited in 2007..
This appealing story is an encouraging tribute to the potential of today\'s youth to make a difference in the world.
Framed by the annual great migration of animals to Kenya, First Come the Zebra looks beyond current conflicts toward the hope for peaceful coexistence.
Little do the boys know they have also taken the First step in overcoming their differences and forging a path to friendship.
Abaani calls to Haki, and together they act quickly.
A short while later, as customers surround Haki\'s stall, a dangerous situation suddenly arises.
They take an immediate dislike to each other.
The boys know of the traditional conflicts between the Maasai and the Kikuyu.
One day when Abaani, a Maasai boy, takes his family\'s cattle out to graze, he is surprised to see a Kikuyu boy, Haki, tending a new fruit and vegetable stall alongside the road.
