Wanjikũ, a young Gikũyũ girl from rural Kenya, is known by her English name, Catherine, when she's in the big city or at boarding school, but she always remembers who she is.

"Wanjikũ, child of mine is a beautifully narrated tale about how language and identity are intrinsically connected. The art is rich and textural, mirroring the Gikũyũ culture." Chaaya Prahbat, illustrstor of The Best Diwali Ever
