Description - Hockey Night in Kenya by Eric Walters
Kenyan orphans, Kitoo and Nigosi, spend their days studying, playing soccer, helping their elders with chores around the orphanage and reading from the limited selection of books in their library. When the librarian finds a box of damaged books that she can’t shelve, she offers them to Kitoo who becomes fascinated by one called Sports Around the World. Kitoo is particularly interested in an image of the Canadian Ice Hockey team. When the fates align and Kitoo finds a pair of beat up old roller blades, he teaches himself to skate and dreams of one day playing hockey like the men in his book. But you can’t play ice hockey in Kenya, can you?
