Nala Sings

"Don't ever go to the river," the parents of the village always
warned, because they feared Ledimo, the giant ogre, would take
the children.

But Nala loved the sound of the river. It made her parents' warning
fade away. She listened to the gentle flow of the water with the
Upupa birds singing in the distance, and then created beautiful
melodies in tune with the calming sounds around her.

One day Nala decides to take a risk, and goes to the river alone,
where she meets Ledimo. Ledimo discovers something about Nala
that he feels will help him. What does Ledimo want with Nala? Will
she be able to get away in time?

Nala Sings is a popular Setswana tale, infused with the beauty of
nature that reimagines the much-loved African folktale, Tselane
and the Giant, originally written in Sesotho
