A heartfelt and funny story about curiosity, growing up, and the lessons we learn along the wayKúyẹ is a baby pangolin who just can’t wait to grow up and do things all on his own. But Kúyẹ’s eagerness to go go go, without listening to his mama, keeps getting him into all sorts of mix-ups. Most of all, he’s desperate to master “the ball”—the special way pangolins curl up to protect themselves. To Kúyẹ, it looks like a fun game, but when a snake shows up, he learns that it’s much more than that.  You've Got This, Little Pangolin is a heartwarming tale about the excitement of growing up, the importance of patience, and how some lessons are worth waiting for.
