Description

A man I helped to settle here
taught me a saying from Africa.
I’ll bet you could find it irresistible:
A cow is God with a wet nose.

Kek comes from Africa where he lived along with his mother, father, and brother. But simplest he and his mother have survived. Now she’s missing, and Kek has been sent to a new home. In The us, he sees snow for the primary time, and feels its sting. He wonders if the folk on this new place shall be like the winter―cold and unkind. But slowly he makes friends: a girl in foster care, an old woman with a rundown farm, and a sweet, sad cow that reminds Kek of home. As he waits for word of his mother’s fate, Kek weathers the cruel Minnesota winter by finding warmth in his new friendships, strength in his memories, and belief in his new country.
