Set against the glowing red sands and starry skies of the Kalahari Desert, Mulungu and Rock Rabbit is a beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, diversity and a celebration of a diverse culture.Ten year old Mulungu and his curious companion, Rock Rabbit, spend their days playing hopscotch in the dust, racing to Acacia tree islands and telling stories of hunting skills. When Rock Rabbit suddenly wonders why he is the only rabbit in the vast desert, Mulungu teaches him a valuable lesson about what it means to be a "one-off" : something so special and unique that there is only one of it.As they play with shadow shapes and watch the sunset paint the sky in gold and purple, the friends realise that the world is much more interesting when everyone is different.Infused with the author's own deep connection with the African landscape, this gentle, witty story is brought to life by Enna Tales's radiant illustrations.The book also features a special educational section exploring the real life Kalahari Desert and the ancient traditions of the indigenous San people.A perfect read- aloud picture book that will leave children smiling, stargazing and feeling proud to be a one-off.
