Njoki and the Hot Gourd Jolly Phonics · Step 3, Unit 3: soft g as in giant

Njoki treks to the dry riverbed each morning for water, and one day she finds a strange gourd half-buried in the sand that pours out far more than it should hold. Could this be magic? When a neighbour’s greed cracks the gourd and its flow stops cold, Njoki must find a way to mend what trust and patience alone can heal, just as her family’s need turns huge and urgent. Written for Jolly Phonics classrooms (Step 3, Unit 3: soft g as in giant), this book practises words like ‘magic’, ‘change’, ‘huge’, ‘surges’, ‘strange’.
