Every new baby is a new branch on the family tree. When a new baby comes home, it is a time for the whole family to remember their roots, their heritage, and all the strength of their identity as they help the little one get a strong start in life. This book celebrates a child born into the Amazigh (ah-mah-Zeer') culture of North Africa whose resilience and creativity have given the world many beautiful gifts over the years.

For anyone not connected to this culture, the text and twelve original, full-color illustrations will help you learn more about these amazing people. The Imazighen (plural for Amazigh) are also known as the Berbers. They are the indigenous people of North Africa. They live in many different countries and have mastered wildly divergent climates over the centuries with only the resources at their disposal.
