In the Somali desert, a girl eagerly awaits the day she can herd the goats by herself. But her grandmother won't allow her into the wilderness until her two front teeth fall out.

Patiently, Suuban waits, and waits...until she can't wait anymore! After some creative thinking and a head bump from a goat to help loosen her front tooth, Suuban is ready to prove she can herd the animals across the desert safely. But with sneaky foxes prowling about, will Suuban learn the resilience she needs to protect her goats?

This gorgeously illustrated picture book is a joyful celebration of the Somali desert and a nomadic lifestyle, in a relatable tale of self-reliance, courage, and the beauty of nature.
