Handa’s Surprise

Year 1 have enjoyed listening to the story of Handa’s Surprise, a vibrantly illustrated picture book, which tells the story of Handa’s walk to see her best friend, Akeyo.

Each page details Handa’s journey and shows a glimpse of tribal life in South West Kenya. The animals featured are brought to life through colour and comedy. The twist at the end of Handa’s journey really is a great surprise.

The children had a great time acting out the story using their new Drama skills.
