Follow real-life animal rescuer Chryssee Perry Martin (a.k.a. "Mama `O'rphanage") as she makes her daily trek down a dusty road in Africa. Along the way she fills her sisal baskets to the brim with mangoes, bananas, peanuts, and even poop--all to feed and entertain the rescued animals staying in the Nairobi Animal Orphanage. Kim Doner's detailed oil wash and pencil paintings transport readers to Nairobi, Kenya, where children prepare snacks for hungry baboons and buffalo feast on sugar cane.

"Chryssee Martin has dedicated her life to saving many of Kenya's baby orphaned creatures...and Kim Doner has exquisitely opened Chryssee's fascinating world to you in her book."
