Haikya The Hyaena Friend

Description

Haikya is a Maasai girl who lives with her mother and younger sisters.  She spends her days looking after the family’s cattle but dreams of going to school and making her family more secure.  Haikya loves vultures and hyaenas although people tell her they are big and ugly.  Can she find a way to help wildlife and her own family?

Dedicated to African women and girls, this enchanting tale is written by Professor Amy Dickman and Dr Alayne Cotterill, joint CEOs of Lion Landscapes and Conservation Partners to PTES.  Beautifully illustrated by Kayla Harren, it will give children across the world an insight into the challenges and benefits that living alongside wildlife brings.
