The Cow in the Dry River <gn>
High in the green hills of KwaZulu Natal, a boy named Siyanda tends his family’s cattle alone. His father is sick, his sisters are hungry, and there is never quite enough to go around. So when Siyanda’s quiet kindness draws a mysterious old woman bearing two magical horns, what will he dare to ask for? And when a greedy neighbour steals one away, can a clean heart set things right? This warm African folktale practises the Bookbot GN level, featuring the /n/ sound in words like ‘gnarled’, ‘sign’, ‘benign’, and ‘reigns’.
