Follow along with Alishba the Great as her parents and brothers bestow on her gifts of Courage, Care, Determination and Dare, which she passes on to her baby sister.
Alishba was born and schooled in a land far away. One full of antelopes, elephants and passionfruit vines. Together they become kind, brave, bold and rare, just like the splendid capes they wear!
Written in the form of a traditional folktale, the story portrays the author's Pakistani/Indian heritage and her early life growing up in Uganda.
