Every girl in the village is afraid to make the long walk for water except Harriet. Sassy Shillah makes fun because she is jealous. “What makes you so much, Harriet Opio Madi? You are not as strong as a gorilla!”

But Harriet proves her courage when she faces the mean bush pig to get the water her family must have to live. Then one day, when Harriet discovers a little something, and, for the first time in her life, she is terrified. Sometimes we find our biggest fear in the tiniest places. 

Through artful illustrations and captivating storytelling, children will be transported to Uganda while learning about a culture different from their own. This book not only entertains but also inspires empathy and understanding for children living in challenging circumstances around the world.

A special feature of this book is the QR code that links readers to a donation page where children can contribute as little as $1 to help children like Hariett. This unique interactive element helps instill a pattern of generosity in young readers.

"A Little Something" is the third book in the Kids and Planet series from Oceanbags Foundation, following the adventures begun in "Good to Go." Each book in this series is carefully researched to provide authentic cultural insights while inspiring children to develop hearts of giving toward fellow humans, creatures, and our planet.
