14 Cows for America

Set against the backdrop of a post-9/11 America, a Maasai village in Kenya offers an unexpected gift of fourteen cows to the American people, symbolizing hope and friendship during a time of grief. This heartfelt gesture, led by Maasai warrior Wilson Kimeli Naiyoma, resonates deeply with a nation in mourning. Carmen Agra Deedy's narrative beautifully explores themes of generosity that transcend cultural boundaries, complemented by Thomas Gonzalez's vibrant illustrations that capture the essence of the Maasai and their landscape.
