MORVEN AND THE HORSE CLAN
ARMSTRONG, LUANNE
In 3500 BC, a killing drought forces Morven and her tribe to roam the steppes of Kazakhstan, struggling
to survive. Fiercely independent and never quite feeling she belongs, Morven feels a greater kinship to
animals than her own people. Despite ridicule, she befriends a herd of wild horses. She learns to ride and
shows her clan the horses are not just a food source, but they can also help them survive. But it is not just
Morven ’s people who are changed by knowledge. A brash young man from another tribe also learns from
Morven. His goals, however, are not just to survive, but to conquer. Morven must learn to accept
responsibility for the terrible changes she set in motion, and become a leader amongst her people, or
they will die.

MY NAME IS BLESSING
WALTERS, ERIC
Based on the life of a real boy, this warm-hearted, beautifully illustrated book tells the story of Baraka, a
young Kenyan boy with a physical disability. Baraka and eight cousins live with their grandmother. She
gives them boundless love, but there is never enough money or food, and life is hard. Baraka is too
young, and, with his disability, needs too much, and she is too old. A difficult choice must be made, and
grandmother and grandchild set off on a journey to see if there is a place at the orphanage for Baraka.
The story begins by looking at Baraka's physical disability as a misfortune, but ends by looking beyond
the disability, to his great heart and spirit, and the blessings he brings.
