When ten-year-old Adesewa invites her two best friends to spend a week with her grandmother in the beautiful Nigerian village of Orun-ran, she expects sunshine, sandcastles, pink strawberry bread, and cookies. What she doesn't expect is a flooded river, a ruined grain store, and a hungry lion crashing the farewell party.
Good thing she didn't come alone.
Ayomide sees what no one else notices. Mayowa knows things that would surprise you. And Adesewa? Adesewa always has a plan. Together, the three girls discover that courage doesn't always roar - sometimes it sews a flower, saves a feast, or plays a very clever sound at exactly the right moment.
Three Wise Girls Save Their Village is a joyful, warm-hearted celebration of friendship, community, and the extraordinary power of young girls who pay attention to the world around them.
