Publisher's Synopsis
Ojimbo, a young man from a small tribe in southern Africa, lands a position as a guest speaker at an English university. Ojimbo's journey to become a man requires that he leave behind his homeland, his tribe, and everything he ever knew, to discover more of the world. Traveling on the strength of his spirit, the encouraging words of his mother, and his sense of honor, Ojimbo explores what the larger world has to offer. Through stories of his homeland, and having played among elephants, Ojimbo intrigues all who meet him. They are willing to help the boy travel from one country to another so he can share his tales.
