The Soul of Fire <ou>

High on the icy mountain, Ngai the creator watches over his people, and no one has ever died. But when old Wanjirũ grows tired, a message must travel down to the village. Will the slow chameleon carry it in time, or will a hasty crow speak first? What happens when only half a message reaches the people below? This gentle retelling helps early readers practice the ‘ou’ sound with words like ‘out’, ’loud’, ‘shout’, ‘ground’, and ‘sound’.
