The Ear, the Eye and the Arm

This is a wonderful children's story, woven with myths and legends from Africa. It is a tale of a secret walled garden, three special
children, a man-child, a holy innocent who helps to guide them, and three detectives Ear, Arm and Eye who help to track the children down.
It is the story of becoming, and of belonging, and of finding your place and purpose in the world. Incredibly well-written, it will keep most non-readers glued to the pages.(First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)
