Khanyi’s Adventures

Khanyi and the Kite is the first story in the Mbilu Tales collection — a joyful Afrocentric picture book about courage, imagination, and the love that guides us.

When Khanyi’s beautiful kite flies away, she and her pug, Momo, set off on a playful adventure, guided by Kokwani — her grandmother and the voice that reminds her how far she can fly.
