Moyenda and The Golden Heart

ìOnce, far from now but close to then, a little boy was found in a forest. His name was Moyenda.î And so it begins . . . A young boy lives in a small village in Africa. Adopted by the village years ago, he is excited when merchants come to his village and speak of a wondrous prize. Join MOYENDA on his daring quest to find the greatest treasure of all and bring it back to the people he loves. This beautifully illustrated read-to-me tale for ages 3-8 is set in a fictional country in long-ago Africa and establishes a mythical foundation for the Kwanzaa holiday created by Maulana Karenga in the 1960s.
