Cristina Kessler,
award-winning children’s book author and longtime loyal friend to Hope for Limpopo, Inc., has done it
again! Her book, My Great-Grandmother’s Gourd,
has been selected as the second-grade book for the 2014-2015 anthology of
Junior Great Books.
Many of Ms. Kessler’s
children’s books are set in Africa but all send an important message. She tells
us that “My Great-Grandmother's Gourd is set in Sudan and tells the story of modern
technology replacing traditional ways, and ultimately the wisdom of combining
the old and the new. It’s based on a true event, and shares the universal theme
of “Don’t mess with my grandmother and family loyalty.”
