Bobo is a small, weak gazelle, the runt of his herd with only his mother to stand by him. When his awkwardness causes too much danger the herd banishes him. Through triumph, terror, and tragedy Bobo grows to be strong, wise, and resourceful. He also learns how to make unlikely friends.
Told in beautiful verse, this story is one for all ages. Kmac El Bey has captured a classic in Bobo The Gazelle that should Stand beside stories such as The Lion King and The Jungle Book. You will fall in love with Bobo while making the journey from awkward youth to a strong and wise adult. The theme of it being wise to meet your opponent halfway will stay with you long after you have turned the last page.
I recommend reading this book outside and close to nature. This book is a wonderful way to teach your children to overcome life's obstacles and to be resilient when it isn’t always pleasant. The story also has a wonderful message of peace for everyone.
