You first met Grace, Peter, and Nathaniel in ADVENTURES IN AFRICA. They are a little '"older and wiser" now, having each had a birthday and a few months of African life tucked under their belts. In ACCLIMATING TO AFRICA (MAKING KENYA HOME), they would like to share some valuable lessons they have learned. Like home is where you make it and happiness is a choice. Different is not always the other guy and enough is far less than you might think. And of course, family is FOREVER. You'll find plenty of whimsy, too, in tales about doting grandparents, Carl the Chameleon, and our long-necked friends, George and Mable Giraffe.
