Mama Panya is going to make pancakes—but not if Adika invites everyone in their village! Adika is always two steps ahead and he wants all of their friends to join them for dinner. Everyone is happy to come, but Mama Panya is worried; can she afford to make pancakes for so many people?

With beautiful illustrations by award-winning illustrator Julia Cairns, this African tale will captivate children as they learn about Kenyan village life and about how giving, even when you have only a little to give, always brings you something in return. Complete with a map, notes on local animals, a glossary of Kiswahili words, and even a rather spicy pancake recipe, Mama Panya's Pancakes gives readers an irresistible taste of rural life in Kenya.
