The mighty Limpopo River bursts its banks. With her husband away working, Josette is forced to shelter with her children in the huge milkwood tree. They cling for their lives for three days. It is not until the fourth day that help arrives and a miracle occurs.
This touching story of bravery, love and new life is based on a real incident that occurred during the devastating floods in Mozambique in 2000. It is Jane Jolly's first picture book and is stunningly illustrated by award-winner Dee Huxley.
