Summary of Elizabeth Nyamayaro's I Am a Girl from Africa

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was eight years old when I saw my world change. I lived in a small village in Zimbabwe with my grandmother, who was my gogo. We would gather food from our fields and gardens and share it with our families. #2 For two years, God has refused to answer our prayers. He has left us with Satan's punishing heat, which is killing everything in its path.
We have only the little food from the previous harvest, which is not enough. #3 When Gogo didn't come home three days ago as she had promised, I felt sad, but I didn't feel scared. Gogo always goes away to pray for sick ambuyas and sekurus in faraway villages. I told Gogo not to worry about me, because she taught me how to take care of myself. #4 I was so hungry that I was forced to crawl to the Good Forest to find my berries, but when I reached the forest, the berries were gone.
I was so hungry that I dreamt that I was spinning surrounded by butterflies, and when I woke up, I was covered in butterflies.
